Survey Cover 
Schedule_eCampus       Winter 2012         © RH Landau, 2012
Submit each project by sending email to rubin@science.oregonstate.edu with attached report or with the URL for your report. (Blackboard submission is less reliable.) A compiled language should be used for the projects. (The paper text contains Java, C andFortran programs, the eBook only Python.) Ph 465 students may do additional 565 problems for extra credit. Make sure to include all required elements along with your name and week number.
