Fall 2009 Math 151 Matlab Assignment 11

Description

1. Students will work together in their assigned teams. In this manner they will:



• finish assignments more quickly and cross-check each other's work;



• give their TAs a more manageable amount to grade;



• build their networking and cooperation skills.



2. BEFORE starting the lab, read Chapter 9 of your Matlab manual (Gilat 3rd Edition).
   
   
3. In Chapter of your MATLAB lab manual, do the following problems.
   
   
   • g284x01, g285x04, g285x07, g286x08
   
   
4. 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. If you have graphics, save your figure files and export them as Encapsulated PostScript. For example, the files for the first problem are:
   
   
   • g284x01.m: M-file with MATLAB input commands and comments
   • func.m: Any function M-files you create
   • g284x01.txt: diary file with input and output interspersed
   • g284x01.eps: Encapsulated postscript printer file for use with xprint in the calclabs
   • g284x01.fig: Figure file for printing directly from Windows Matlab


5. You'll print out the .txt and .eps files using xprint from the Calclab or .fig files (directly from Matlab on a Windows computer). Do any hand work on ruled notebook paper or engineering green graph paper.
   
   
6. Regarding the figures themselves, interactively edit them. Put on labels; insert text or arrows; change line thicknesses; etc.



7. This assignment is due TUESDAY, 8 Dec, at the START of your lab, recitation, or lecture (whichever meets that day). 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.



8. 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.


• Fall 2009 Math 151 Matlab Assignment 11
• Section xxx, Group Members' Names, Student UINs


9. In addition, each group member should initial the problem(s) he or she worked on, to encourage ALL group members to participate in the lab.



10. Various MATLAB videos that you have viewed in advance show how to use xprint to print your diary .txt and graphics .eps files from CalcLab. Alternatively, transfer your files to the Open Access Lab using a flash drive, email, or FileZilla and print directly from Matlab.

Notes

• There are samples of the types of problems you have to do in Chapter 9 of your lab manual. Watch the MATLAB 11 streaming video if you have not already done so.
