Software

We will use Matlab for this course. We will start off with a review of Matlab and we'll use the current version of Basic Matlab exercises. This version was updated Feb 14 to fix a few typos on p. 6 (that is the only different page as of now).

Matlab Script and Function Files that we are likely to use are at this page. This list is likely to have some changes as the semester progresses.

Some potentially helpful sites follow for getting matlab help.

• From the MathWorks web site (Matlab's developer), there is extensive help and documentation here.
• An introduction that may be useful is pdf format by David F. Griffiths at Dundee, UK.

How to Succeed in This Class

The formula is pretty simple:

• Do the homework and projects.
• Keep up with class.
• Study for tests by being able to do the homework problems and problems like them.
• Read the text.
• Ask questions about things that don't seem clear!
• I'll work hard to try to make you successful in this class; you'll need to work at it too.
