Instructions for using MATLAB in the OWL lab. (MTH 0203).
When you invoke matlab, it starts on a drive that does not allow you
to write and save files. You must switch to the H drive where your home
directory resides. In MATLAB, enter
>> cd H:\
This should place you in your home directory. Now you can write
and download mfiles in this directory and MATLAB will be able to find them.
Now using Explorer, go to my webpage, www.math.umd.edu/~jec,
and scroll down to Working Analysis, MATLAB mfiles. Go to
chapter 6, and open up the file for newton1.m. Save this file
to your home directory (on the H drive), as newton1.m.
Now MATLAB should be able to find it. You must define inline
functions for f and df. To run this program, enter
>> newton1
The program will ask for a starting point x0, and then make 5 iterations.
