Marking

4 Assignments 40%
Final Exam 60%

Late Policy

Assignments are due at the beginning of the tutorial or lecture on the due date (i.e. Mon./Wed./Fri at 9:10).

The penalties for lateness are:

Hard copies of late assignments should be handed into the AI Office, Pratt 283, during business hours. The date and time should be marked, and it needs to be signed for by someone in the office.

Check your current marks on-line. So far we only have A1 marked.


Assignments

Links to assignments and related information are provided here.

If you are new to Matlab, first read the Matlab primer and try running the code described there at the CDF-PC lab.

Lecture and Tutorial Materials

Links to some of the lecture/tutorial notes are provided below.

Matlab tutorials are also provided to illustrate many of the concepts introduced in this course. The tutorials are installed on the CDF lab machines. After logging onto a CDF machine, cd ~jepson/pub/matlab and read the README file. This file tells you how to set up matlab so that it will run the tutorials. The tutorials are located in two directories:

We indicate which toolbox to look in below.

Optional: The Matlab toolboxes we use in this course are also available for download to your home computer (assuming you have Matlab at home) from the matlabVisTools.zip file (51MB). After unzipping this file, see the matlab/README file for instructions on how to set your matlab path. However, you do NOT need to have Matlab at home, since the software is available in the CDF Lab.
