 Computer Resources

Access to a computer on which a recent version of MATLAB runs is essential for this course. MATLAB has an extensive on-line help facility (just type “help” or “help commandname” in MATLAB). The Free Software Foundation’s Matlab clone called Octave may also be used by those who do not have access to MATLAB. Octave works on Linux and Microsoft Windows.
