Lecture 1
The first lecture of CISC-271
was used for
introductions.
The
agenda is
roughly:
Administration
Course organization and
administration, homeworks, tests, grading
scheme.
Scientific
Computing
We looked at a
very simplified overview of the the process involved in solving mathematical
"Real World Problems". We then looked at a mathematical problem related to
biomedical computing. According to the way we modelled the problem we needed to
determine the equation of a quadratic function, and then determine where a line
crosses the function.
Here is the actual
code we used. A good excercise would be to try this out and duplicate the
results I got.
X = [0
.5 1]
Y= [0 120
0]
P =
polyfit(X,Y,2)
xc =
linspace(0,1);
yc =
polyval(P,xc);
plot(xc,yc,
xc, 90)
P(3) =
-90
roots(P)
