In case you have been looking through last year's labs (link above), we will postpone the old Lab 3, and do instead Lab 4 or similar next week (Sep 23).

Observation: In problems such as questions 3 and 5 it may be better to
carry parameters and variables (b, S, t, H) in symbolic form, substituting the
numbers only at the end. Advantages: a) Save ink (and time).
b) Reduce chance of mistakes and rounding errors. c) You get a general
formula where different parameter or variable values could be used if necessary.

Notes: 6. TASS
