| 01 Sep | I am greatly concerned with some of the questions raised via email. In order to help some of you with the MATLAB part of prac 1, I have uploaded the memo .m file for question 4 of the MATLAB tutorial done on 30 July. Please find it below. Use it, don't use it, it's up to you. Remember plagiarism when copying things from this code; this code serves as a hint in order to help you write your **own** code. Please don't forget to attach a plagiarism statement to your report, which must be signed by **all** members of your group. |
