Course PM

Here are solutions to the exam on Aug 24.

Here are suggested solutions to the exam on June 11.

There will be a re-exam on June 11, in the morning. It will be a "home exam".

 

This page contains the program of the course: lectures, exercise sessions and computer labs. Other information, such as learning outcomes, teachers, literature and examination, are in a separate course PM.

We will use these lecture notes. Priestley's book is recommended as extra reading; we will also use it as a source of exercises.

Program

The schedule of the course is in TimeEdit.

Computer labs

Here are some simple MATLAB exercises that help illustrate the theory. They are not part of the examination and shouldn't be reported.

LAB1 a mapping game

LAB2 the Argument principle

LAB3 a potential problem

 

Reference literature:

  1. Learning MATLAB, Tobin A. Driscoll. Provides a brief introduction to Matlab to the one who already knows computer programming. Available as e-book from Chalmers library.
  2. Physical Modeling in MATLAB 3/E, Allen B. Downey
    The book is free to download from the web. The book gives an introduction for those who have not programmed before. It covers basic MATLAB programming with a focus on modeling and simulation of physical systems.
