Afternotes for Matlab 1


2016 course-time stuff starts here.

  • Juha's impressive scripts from 9.11.
  • 111 most important Matlab functions (pp. 1,2) Higham-Higham: Matlab Guide
  • 111 most important ... (pp. 3,4,5)
    Updates: hist -> histogram, quadl -> integral
  • Added 8.11: MonteCarlo_Triangle [Helps in problem #5]
  • NEW: The irrigation channel-template I showed in the end of lecture today had no read permission,
    now corrected [mo 7.11.]
  • Lecture task solutions: Scroll down to find links to both html (published) and m-file.
  • Dead-line for submitting solutions to problems: 2.12.
  • Submit: m-file/m-files + pdf produced by >> publish('mymfile','pdf')
    Please take this template as a basis for your work.
  • Please don't use live editor for program development, it is clearly not meant for it. If you want to produce a high-quality document for your own joy, take the above "publish-formatted" m-file, import it into live editor and export as pdf.
