URGENT:  MATH282 Homeworks 4/5/6
==============================================


Just to pick up on a comments:

Please evaluate f(x) from the original function and not as x-g(x)

The reasons are mainly with respect to giving you more MATLAB coding of functions but it also helps to identify errors in coding since clearly f(x) should go to zero as the iteration converges to the correct value (if g(x) is coded correctly)

I also want you to identify the actual form f(x)=0 from the given problem (ie subtract LHS from RHS or RHS-LHS) as required in many problems where only f(x)is required.

==============================================================================

Data for H4 - with S=0.001, (Q=5; s=0, and  s=1) and (Q=10; s=0, and s=1)
           
             with S=0.015,  (Q=5; s=0, and s=1) and (Q=10; s=0, and s=1)

==============================================================================

Error in H5/6 handout - towards end, mentions 2 time values, this should be three values

one for eval,  one for anonymous,  one for function handles and function M files.

See version on the course materials

Also just to emphasize that you require  myfixedpte9 for the eval case (with strings)
and myfixedptf9 for both the anonymous function case and the function M-files/handles case.

Course Information

Introduction to the mathematical software package, MATLAB, that integrates technical computation, graphics, visualisation, and programming.

Topics

Getting started; basic features; IEEE floating point arithmetic; arrays; M-files; flow control; functions; graphics; programming principles.

This course is run as a series of computer lab sessions, together with introductory lectures.

Text

Chapman, SJ,MATLAB Programming for Engineers, Brooks/Cole, pbk, 4th ed 2008 or 3rd ed, 2004.

This course is heavily dependant on the textbook.

Notes

MATH 282 is totally lab based; attendance at labs is required.
