UBC Math 255 for Mech 2, Sep-Dec 2014


This page provides unofficial backup for the materials that students can and should find on UBC's Connect e-learning system.

In cases of dire need (e.g., server failure), these unofficial copies should be better than no access at all.

Computer Lab 7: Numerics and Neurons

There is no official prelab assignment. However, carefully reading the lab specifications and the provided helper scripts before the lab period will turn out to be time well spent.

Computer Lab 6: The Simple Pendulum

There is no official prelab assignment. However, carefully reading the lab specifications and the provided helper scripts before the lab period will turn out to be time well spent.

Computer Lab 5: Phase Portraits for homogeneous 2D linear systems

Computer Lab 4: Solving a Separable ODE

Please note that the prelab requires some work to be completed before the lab starts, and handed in at the beginning of your scheduled session.

Computer Lab 3: Finding Real Roots

Computer Lab 2: AM Demodulator

Computer Lab 1: Histogram
