Spring 2012 MATH 152 MATLAB Assignment 9

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 4th Edition).
3. INSTEAD of working the actual Gilat problems, click the link below to work problems similar to problems in Chapter 9 of your Matlab lab manual
   
   • g313x02, g315x12*, g316x17, g319x31
4. Also review how to use the taylor command ('help taylor') and do the following problem from chapter 10 of your textbook.
   • s633x23*
5. 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, print your figure files to a PDF file using print -dpdf FILENAME.pdf. Also print out any function M-files you create. For example, the files associated with the first problem are:
   
   • g313x02.m: M-file with MATLAB input commands and comments
   • f.m: Any function M-files you create
   • g313x02.txt: diary file with input and output interspersed
   • g313x02.pdf: PDF file to transfer to another account or use with xprint in the calclabs
6. You'll print out the .txt and .pdf files. Do any hand work on ruled notebook paper or engineering green graph paper.
7. Regarding the figures themselves, interactively edit them. Put on labels; insert text or arrows; change line thicknesses; etc.
8. This assignment is due the week of 09-10 Apr, at the START of your computer lab. 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.
9. 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.
   • Spring 2012 Math 152 Matlab Assignment 9
   • Section xxx, Group Members' Names, Student UINs
10. 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.
11. Various MATLAB videos that you have viewed in advance show how to use xprint to print your diary .txt and graphics .pdf files from CalcLab. Alternatively, transfer your files to the Open Access Lab or your personal computer using a flash drive, email, or FileZilla and print directly from Matlab.

• For g315x12: The necessary formulas for Volume and Surface Area are V = (1/3)πh(r₁²+r₂²+r₁r₂) and S = π(r₁+r₂)sqrt((r₂-r₁)²+h²)+πr₁².
• For s633x23: Do NOT find the general Taylor series or radius of convergence. Just plot the function along with Taylor polynomials of degree 1 through 4 on the same graph.
• There are samples of the types of problems you have to do in Chapter 9 of your lab manual. Watch the MATLAB 9 streaming video if you have not already done so.
