ANNOUNCEMENTS:
About the Instructor: Name: Andrew Shi Email: andrewshi@math.schoolname.edu Class Time and Location: Section 9 (CCN 24967): Tu/Th 3:30-5 (Technically B3A Evans, but really online) Office hours: by appointment (most days with 24 hrs notice). Highly encouraged to make appointment as often as you need. Installing MATLAB: You can download MATLAB here for free through the UC Berkeley campus license. If you encounter any issues, try contacting campus technical support and clearly describe your issue. Neither I nor the 128a Professor/GSIs can help you with this. Note that concurrent enrollment students do not have access to this campus license. I have been told new/re-entry students and those with unpaid bills have encountered some issues in the past. References: This course has no primary texts. I would recommend you check out some of the following tutorials (in increasing order of length/detail). More Practice Problems: Here are some great sources of additional practice problems for you to work on your programming ability. I use many of these as in-class/homework exercises. Schedule:
Codes: Here are some of the codes I demonstrate in class and the solutions to the in class exercises. Assignments: Each assignment will be due on the specified date by 11:59pm on bCourses, which is when solutions will be posted. Please do your best to keep up, and let me know if you need more time. The nth assignment requires up to the nth lecture.
Passing the Course: This is a 1-unit P/NP class. The four homework assignments are each with 15 points. These will be spot checked for effort/completion. The project will be worth 40 points. This will be graded for accuracy. The passing requirement is 70% on each assignment and the project. Lecture Videos: The Coursera videos seem like a lot, but they are very basic and slow-paced (and very detailed). I suggest playing them at 1.5-2x speed and skipping over the basic mathematical explanations (like the ones about matrix addition and multiplication in Lecture 1). The Coursera Videos follow the text Computer Programming with MATLAB (2013) by J. Michael Fitzpatrick, Ákos Lédeczi.
