Spring 2012 MATH 151-8xx MATLAB Project 1 (Part B)

1. Students will work in their assigned teams on this assignment.
2. Assignment Objectives:
   
   • Creating Matrices with Matlab (Gilat pp39-41)
   • Operations with Matrices (Gilat pp64-70)
   • Solving Equations with Matrices (Gilat p 71)
   • Solving Equation symbollically (Gilat pp358-363)
   • Applying Linear Equations to Engineering Problems (Gilat pp80-84)
3. Link to Problems
4. 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. Files should be named so as to easily recognize the contents. For example, you could name the files associated with the first problem as follows:
   
   • g1x1.m: M-file with MATLAB input commands and comments
   • g1x1.txt: diary file with input and output interspersed
5. You'll print out the .txt files. Do any hand work on your cover sheet, ruled notebook paper or engineering green graph paper.
6. This assignment is due 22 Feb, 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.
7. When you finish, you will turn in the documentation of your Matlab work to your TA. Print a copy of the assignment page linked above, fill it out, and use it as a cover sheet. Note that there are questions to answer on the assignment page as well!
8. Various MATLAB videos that you have viewed in advance show how to use xprint to print your diary .txt and .pdf files from CalcLab. Alternatively, transfer your files to the Open Access Lab or your personal computer using a flash drive, email, or FileZilla for printing.

• The difficulty in this lab is to set up the equations by hand (in most cases using your Engineering and Physics principles). Once you have the equations, use Matlab to solve them as in Part A.
