Course Resources:

Welcome to the course resources page. Here you will find helpful links to materials used in this course.

Computational Math Programs:

Given the computational nature of the course, access to MATLAB (www.mathworks.com) or Octave (www.gnu.org/software/octave) is essential. MATLAB provides student editions for $99 that can be downloaded via the web.

MathWorks is pleased to provide a special license to you as a course participant to use for your Coursera course. This is a limited license for the duration of your course plus 30 days and is intended to be used only for course work and not for commercial purposes.

Below is the MATLAB download link for your class:

Octave is a free (or by donation) alternative to MATLAB that can also be downloaded and installed via the web. Either software should suffice for all the needs of the course, but MATLAB is the strongly recommended alternative.
