Tutorials

This page contains self-study materials for background mathematics and computer programs

1. Vector Tutorial  pdf format  (if you haven't done EN3, please read this!)

2. MATLAB tutorial  Brown users can download MATLAB from the CIS server. For off-campus use you will need to install the VPN client first, and make a VPN connection to Brown (the username and password for connecting to VPN are the same as those you use to access BANNER or your Brown email)

4. Mathematica EN30 switched from MAPLE to Mathematical last year - we will continue using Mathematica in EN40 this year (our lecture notes have been updated but you will find that many old homework solutions contain MAPLE). EN30 did not provide a custom Mathematica tutorial, but you could try commercial versions, e.g. from the Wolfram site
