We’ll start using Matlab and Maple in class tomorrow, and they will be useful tools throughout the course.
Both are installed on all campus computers. Also you can download them to your personal computer through since CUNY has licensed them for student use:
–The latest version of Maple is available as a free download via the CUNY Portal
–For Matlab, follow the instructions in the pdf that I’ve uploaded to the “Files” here:
http://openlab.citytech.cuny.edu/?get_group_doc=4473/1391110399-MatlabInformation.pdf
Even on campus computers in order to use Matlab you may need to first set up a Mathworks account using your CityTech email address and use the activation key in the pdf (which is 42674-80312-89371-99809-84250)
You may find Mathworks’ Matlab support materials useful for getting started with Matlab:
http://www.mathworks.com/help/pdf_doc/matlab/getstart.pdf
http://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/index.html
http://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/examples/index.html (bunch of videos)
For a very quick start, here is a short tutorial on the basics:
http://www.math.utah.edu/lab/ms/matlab/matlab.html
This pdf should be useful:
“Ordinary Differential Equations in Matlab”
http://www.math.tamu.edu/~efendiev/math442_spring04/matlabode.pdf
(For example, pp7-9 outline how to create direction fields)
This book is available via the web through the CUNY/CityTech library:
“A Guide to Matlab: for beginners and advanced users”
http://apps.appl.cuny.edu:83/F/E5F6T1CLMBNXA5DEAJJSDUXBCATYCTPGKAPIDTIFA595Y5FRM4-12149?func=full-set-set&set_number=004026&set_entry=000001&format=999
Another short pdf that may be useful going forward:
“Using Matlab to Integrate Ordinary Differential Equations”
http://math.arizona.edu/~emcevoy/odes.pdf
Since we are discussing Euler’s method, here are two more pdfs that discuss implementing Euler’s method in Maple and Matlab, respectively:
http://www.math.upenn.edu/~istovall/numericstutorial.pdf (see the last few pages for Euler’s method; prior to that is examples of direction fields in Maple)
http://www.math.tamu.edu/~phoward/m647/matode.pdf (Sec 6.1, p16)
