Sample Matlab Computer Programs List

This page contains a list of sample Matlab computer programs associated with our textbook written by Professor Piche.

Professor Piche has now updated his course material for the 2nd Edition of our book as of March 2002.

His collection of computer labs is at http://math.tut.fi/~piche/numanal/labs.html

Some of the labs have links to the new set of Matlab m-files at

ftp://ftp.cc.tut.fi/pub/math/piche/73110/
These m-files are compatible with Matlab versions 5.x and 6.1

This is a collection of MATLAB programs to accompany the computer
exercises of a course in elementary numerical analysis based on the
textbook

 D. Kincaid and W. Cheney, 
 Numerical Analysis -- Mathematics of Scientific Computing, 3rd Edition,
 Brooks-Cole Publishing 2001

They were written by Robert Piche (piche@cc.tut.fi) of Tampere
University of Technology in Finland.

This collection consists of 48 text files ("M-files") and 1 binary 
file ("MAT-file"). These can be used by any implementation of MATLAB
version 4.0 or higher. 

The M-files are

1 list of files: The file contents.m lists the file names and gives
  a brief description of each one.
26 functions: This is a selection of the algorithms covered in the
  course. Some of the functions are improved versions of standard
  MATLAB Toolbox functions, some functions are not available in the
  Toolbox, while others  having more limited capability are included
  for pedagical reasons. Two of the functions, horner.m and littldoo.m,
  are empty, and the student is required to add code to them
  during the exercise period.
10 demonstrations: These scripts give examples of the use of the
  MATLAB software to solve problems. Some of the problems are
  from the textbook. Three demo scripts, pfitdemo.m, sfitdemo.m and
  iterdemo.m, feature interactive graphics.  
11 exercise sets: These are sets of questions that are to be solved
  by the students during computer exercise periods.

The binary MAT-file psdemo.mat contains large sparse matrix data from a 
power system network.

In addition to the above files, a detailed manual (in compressed
postscript format) is contained in file manual.ps.Z. Copies of the 
manual are also available from the author.

The files in this collection are freely available for copying
from the anonymous ftp server titan.cc.tut.fi (130.230.23.9)
in directory /pub/matlab/numanal. 

The author welcomes any comments, suggestions or questions
about this software or its documentation.
