Matlab
A scientific programming language is required for this course. Matlab is
preferred due to the integration of computation and visualization, and
the fact that the text book authors provide support. Online resources,
including links to Matlab Tutorials and Matlab programs used in the
text, are available at the publisher's website www.wiley.com/college/atkinson
(click on Student Companion Site).
The following are options for accessing Matlab at OSU:
The following are online resources for learning Matlab:
Students may work together, but must turn in individual copies. (If
typed, the wording must differ!) If code is written, a printout must be
provided. (Code must be written by each individual!)
While it may not be stated explicitly each day, students are expected to
read each section to be covered before class. Questions
not addressed during class time should be asked in office hours.
Students are responsible for any material missed due to absence.
Students should complete assignments individually. Any questions should
be directed to the Professor. A printout of all output must be
turned in along with detailed explanations of solutions and supporting
plots. Please upload all scripts (.m files) to the Digital Dropbox
on the Blackboard Site in a single
zip/tar/etc file, (UPDATE) as well as printing them out to include with
your work to be handed in!
Homework
Homework is required for this course. Assignments will be given in
class and consist (mostly) of problems from the text. Exam problems
will (mostly) be similar to homework problems. There will be
(approximately) 5 homework assignments. Only problems marked with * need to
be turned in for a grade.
Computer Assignments (Labs)
Computer, or programming, assignments are required for this course.
Assignments will be posted on the course website and announced in class.
There will be approximately 5 programming assignments.

Use the codes from the publisher's
website.
Include these in the files you upload and print out as
you will have to make minor modifications.
Use the codes from here.
You do not have to include these in the files you print out unless you make
major changes.
