Fall 2009 Math 151 Matlab Assignment 1

Description

1. Due to many students changing their schedules the first week of class, students will work individually on this first assignment. On all remaining assignments, students will work in assigned teams
2. In Chapter 1 and 2 of your Matlab lab manual (Gilat 3rd Edition), do the following problems.
   
   
   • g027x03, g030x16, g053x09, g055x16
   
   
3. For each problem, you'll work out of the MATLAB Editor. You'll interactively save and run your MATLAB M-file, writing input and output to a diary file. For example, the files associated with the first problem are:
   
   
   • g027x03.m: M-file with MATLAB input commands and comments
   • g027x03.txt: diary file with input and output interspersed
   
   
4. You'll print out the .txt files. Do any hand work on ruled notebook paper or engineering green graph paper.
   
   
5. This assignment is due the week of 07-11 Sept, at the START of your computer lab. Be sure to manage your time according to your schedule. Do NOT put things off! It is highly advisable that you use the 50 minutes in lab to complete as much of the assignment as possible while your TA is available to help.
   
   
6. When you finish, you will turn in the documentation of your Matlab work to your TA. Make sure the following information is on a cover sheet.
