Information on Lab accounts and access.
You will now be able to access Windows computers running Matlab at the basement computer lab in Evans Hall ((EMF) B3 Evans Basement). The login and password will be distributed in class or you can get them from me or TA. The following times are reserved primarily for our class, so you have priority in using the computers in the lab:
Monday 6-7pm, Thursday 7-8pm and joint with 128A 6-7pm.
While other time in the lab is reserved by other sections if computers are available during those hours you can use them. However, you should not disturb the section taking place in the lab at that time.
Lab Hours are posted at here (IST lab hours)
In addition, remote access UNIX accounts are available. If you need one you can get it from me.
If you have a computer at home you might also want to consider a possibility of buying Matlab or using a Matlab clone. Although the latter option might be somewhat difficult to implement and use Matlab clones are free software packages which are very similar to Matlab except for few syntax differences. SciLab, in particular, has all of the Matlab capabilities that you need. Here are links to SciLab and other clones. Let me or TA know if you need any help with getting access to computers and software.
