Announcements

(11/8) Some students are struggling to get all tutorial questions completed within the one hour tutorial, so I want to remind you that it is a good idea to spend some time BEFORE you come to the tutorial, looking at the questions and perhaps doing those parts of the questions that don't require Matlab.

Also, please do not come to any tutorial that you are not enrolled for. If you are not sure which tutorial you are enrolled for then check on nDeva.

(7/8) A summary of your responses to the in-class survey taken on Tuesday can be downloaded here. Summary of the in-class survey Thanks to all that gave their opinions.

(27/7) The class representative for Maths 260 is Jessie Lin. You can reach Jessie by email at jessielly@hotmail.com

(27/7) The Maths Assistance Room is open in G16 on the ground floor of the Maths/Physics Building (far end of Scispace) from today. You can go to the Assistance Room for help with your Mathematics assignments. The Assistance Room is open on weekdays during semester from 10am to 4pm. A schedule showing times at which tutors are available to help with Maths 260 is available at http://www.math.auckland.ac.nz/wiki/Assistance_room

Computing

In this course, you will use the software package MATLAB plus some additional MATLAB programs to do assignment and tutorial problems. A guide to the software used in the course can be downloaded here.

MATLAB is available for your use in the Mathematics and Statistics Computer Laboratories. You can also purchase a copy of MATLAB, for use on your own computer, from the Student Resource Centre located in the basement of the Maths building, at a cost of $99. If you buy your own copy of MATLAB you will need some additional files to use with Matlab to enable you to do Maths 260 problems. These files are free, and can be downloaded below.

Matlab files

Here is a zipped version of all the Matlab files you will need. Download the zipped file and unzip the file in the directory you will use for Maths 260.

Zipped Matlab files

NB: If you want to use these Matlab files on your home computer and you are using an old version of Matlab (R2007b or earlier) you will need to download the following file and use it to replace the file called pplane.m in the zipped files above:
