Meeting 23:

What are the steps to plot a function using a computer? What is the N? What is the

Interval (ta, tb)? What is the increment ∆? How to obtain the series ti? How to obtain

The series f(ti)?

CW10:

To plot a function f(t) between ta and tb using N points we will generate a time series

ti = ta + i*∆ where i =0, 2, …, N-1 (with ∆ the increment; ∆=(tb-ta)/(N-1);

t1=ta and tN=tb) Then evaluate f(t) at ti, i.e. obtaining f(ti). Then plot the points (ti, f(ti)),

Logbook

Just to remind that the logbook is a very important component of the course and will be evaluated, together with the final exam they count 20% of the course grade.

You should record the logbook on a daily basis, with pages numbered and dated, about two main topics:

-Discussions and findings about projects, collectively or individually

-Answers to questions posted here in the class notes and other learning conclusions you found by doing activities related to this course.

The next logbook due date is April 25, 2006.

Logbook questions:

1- Describe a For Loop: what is N, what is i, what values it will take?

2- Describe an “Eval Single-Variable Array”: what are the inputs and outputs? What do we use it for?

3- Describe a “Bundle”: what do we use it for? How to add an input terminal?
