Useful General Material

• MATLAB Primer (in both HTML and Postscript formats)
• Exams from previous offerings of CS 3414 (by Dr. L.T. Watson)
  These are included here only as sample exams from previous semesters. The topical content of these exams is different from what we have learnt this semester, so obviously not all of the questions in these exams are pertinent for our purposes (they will be pertinent for the final, though!)
  • Fall 2001: Exam 1 (try out questions 1, 6, and 7)
  • Fall 2001: Exam 2 (try out questions 1 and 2)
