Topic 1 Using Simpson’s method to measure area of a province

1. Reference: [1]

2. Requirements: Choosing a province of Vietnam, you collect the data of positions by using Google
map. Using Simpson’s method to compute the area. Compare your result to the real data.

Topic 2 Set up the ordinary differential equation system that describes a system of many circuits.
Using at least 3 methods to approximate the flowing currents and giving conclusions
about the accuracy

1. Reference: [2]

2. Setting problem, theory framework about your three methods.

3. Coding for 3 methods.

4. Estimate the error.

Topic 3 Presenting the Newton method for solving a system of nonlinear equations. Applying it
to solve at least 2 real problems, for example, the model proposed in [1], page 646, about
finding the temperature

1. Reference: [1]

2. Theoretical background

3. Coding, solving the chosen problems.

metal plate with the boundary being an arbitrary curve

1. Reference: [3]

2. Theoretical background

3. Coding

Topic 5 Reading the paper given in [5]

1. Reference: [5]

2. Explaining the paper(understanding the idea, proving is not required)
