About assignments: beginning the second week, there will be weekly assignments that you will turn in. Your completed assignments should be neat, organized, and show step-by-step what you did and what you got. One great way to do this is to paste your steps and results into a Word document (or any other file type that supports graphics and that we can read). Here is an example homework to give you an idea of what we are after.

Note: When downloading a file (particularly on a PC) sometimes the extension is missing and/or the file is associated with the wrong application. Regardless, if you just save the file to your disk, then open MATLAB (for data files) or the application you use to read .pdf files (for the readings), and then open the file from within the application, everything should be fine.

Assignments: (to be posted as we go...)
