Important Note:

You will want to look at each lesson after it is covered in class, and perhaps once before as well. Try out some of the commands in MATLAB yourself as you go along. The function M-files needed in some places (which are short ascii files) can be downloaded here on a one-by-one basis or here as a single zip-archive.
