There is also a short introductory material to Matlab with lessons and exercises for self studies for anyone who needs a refresher to Matlab. Account number for access to Nada's unix system, where you can run e.g. Matlab and Comsol Multiphysics, is obtained at Delfi, Nada's computer system group at floor 2, Osquars Backe 2. At Delfi you can also get a keycard for access to Nada's computer rooms. A keycard will be given to those who have an account number. Matlab and Comsol Multiphysics can be downloaded to your own computer if you are KTH student, see ProgDist If you are a PhD-student, please look at payment rules Observe that FAQ's have been added after each lab below! Labs to be done in the course (1-2 students responsible for each report) The labs are found in the textbook, appendix C Read about the requirements for the lab reports here Laboration 1, deadline Sept 16th, also found here Laboration 2, deadline Sept 30th, Lab2: FAQ Laboration 3, deadline Oct 14th, Lab3: FAQ Observe the misprint in the book: sin(pi*(z-a)/(z-b)) should be sin(pi*(z-a)/(b-a)) Laboration 4, deadline Nov 11th Laboration 5, deadline Nov 25th Laboration 6, deadline Dec 9th The final project will be given out on Tuesday Nov 11, at the lecture General information about the project is found here The project is done in groups of 2-5 students. The results of the project are presented orally at one of the seminars in december. The presentation is done with OH's or with computer, e.g. Power point. At least one day before the presentation, copies of the pictures of the presentation must be given to the teacher who will arrange copies for the audience. Every student in the group must make some contribution to the oral presentation. The mark of the course (A, B, C, D or E) is based on the results of both labs, project and written exam. Each lab is given a maximum number of credit points: Lab 1:4.3, Lab 2:5.0, Lab 3:4.0, Lab 4:5.0, Lab 5:4.0, Lab 6:4.7 The project is given maximum 3 credit points. The written exam is given maximum credit point of TEN:27 To pass the course minimum 18 credits are needed from the labs (max is 27), minimum 1 credit from the project (max is 3) and 13 from the written exam (max is 27).
