| Assignment_1: reading listed to the right | Math review/warmup and introduction to matlab
The matlab pdf is quick reading, so it goes by fast. If you have access to Matlab from home, it helps to follow along with the reading, otherwise you could go to a computer lab with matlab installed (CSB115) - we will go over how to run matlab remotely (ie from a computer which does not have matlab installed, but has an internet connection and a login account) |
