- On a computer that has MATLAB installed, watch the videos for Lectures #1, #2, #3, and #5 here (5-10 minutes each).
- Open MATLAB and follow along with the videos. (If you’re using a computer lab on campus, don’t forget to bring headphones.)
- Read from page 191 to the top of page 196.
- Complete #1, 13, 14, and 16 on page 202.
- Try implementing Algorithms 1, 2, and 3 in MATLAB for a random list of numbers.
- Try implementing your answers for #1, 13, 14, and 16 on page 202 in MATLAB for a random list of numbers.
- Bring these files with you to class on Tuesday, April 25.
While MATLAB is the official requirement for this assignment, and is installed on most computers in CityTech labs, a free alternative to MATLAB is Scilab. You might like to practice on Scilab if you will not have access to MATLAB during the break but do have access to a computer that you can install software on. Commands in Scilab are similar to the commands in MATLAB, but they’re not necessarily identical, so you may find the MATLAB-Scilab equivalence page helpful. You will have to convert to MATLAB after you arrive back on campus after the break.
If you want to you can download MatLab for free. The school offers a license.

Just follow directions under MathWorks Tab.
Peace.
Thanks Chris! I’d asked around to see if this was true, but evidently I asked the wrong people!
Thanks Chris, did not know the school offered licences for these products!!
