Dear E204 Students,
Please find the files on the Merton Case (for problems 3, 4, 5) and the Non-Linear Programming advertising example attached to this e-mail. We will explore more of the portfolio problem in class next week as we complete the non-linear programming module, and then we will begin the lectures on simulation (you have the chapter reading as a handout). With regard to Team Project #1, you should be looking over the three problems, discussing the facts and issues, and thinking about their formulation/solution. Your reports are due in two weeks (not next week) so we can go over the problems and any questions/clarifications you may need in the next lecture. Given the detail with which some of you have read the homework problems, I imagine there might be some clarification questions even though the problem statements were meant to be as straightforward as possible. I would prefer to clarify all questions at one time during class since we have the extra week, but if you have something urgent you can always ask. Note that you should have received the data file for Problem 3 of TA#1 by an e-mail attachment last night. Finally, I would like to introduce some conformity to the Personal Problem Sets. Please put: Last Name, First Name E204 - (1 = Wed, or 2 = Thurs) Personal Problem Set # ... Ch. ..., # .... Date Due: ... / .../ 00 in the UPPER RIGHT HAND CORNER of your homework set on p.1 This will help our GSI record grades, especially if your homework has gone into the wrong envelope. Also, for the Team Project #1, you will need to take the FIRST PAGE of that handout and make it the first page of your report. All students will need to CLEAERLY print their names (Last Name, First Name) and then initial/sign for the statement assuring that only group members worked on the assignment with possible help from instructor/GSI/Haas computer consultant. The cohort is either 1-Wednesday, or 2-Thursday for the lecture time. Please make sure that your Team Assignment #1 report has this first page filled out completely (for each member) before you submit it (on April 19/20 in class by 6 PM). If some team members will be out of town, they should sign on the page early. Every team member should be reviewing all the problems/issues, not just selectively --- you may have some focus on particular areas but not to the neglect of the overall problem set. When your results are handed in, each member should be confident that they could now individually have written it. --Tom McCullough - MERTON3A.xls - MERTON_4.xls - MERTON_5.xls - E204_ADV_NLP.xls ======================================================================= Tom McCullough Senior Lecturer Haas School of Business University of California at Berkeley ==========================================================================
