Agenda

1. General information

2. Intended audience

3. Class schedule

4. Textbook for MATLAB

5. Evaluation criteria

6. Term project

7. 1st assignment

• Time: Mon/Wed 13:30-14:45

• Place: 23529, 1st Engineering building

General information

• Undergraduate students who

• want to learn how to write computer programs using MATLAB and Python

• want to learn computational thinking for your own applications (read the article)

Intended audience

“Computational thinking is a fundamental skill for everyone, not just for computer scientists.”

Class schedule

• Two main topics

– MATLAB programming (before mid term exam)

– Python programming (after mid term exam)

• Visit our homepage

What is MATLAB?

• The name MATLAB stands for MATrix LABoratory • Typical uses include:

Math and computation – Algorithm development – Data acquisition – Modeling, simulation, and prototyping

Data analysis, exploration, and visualization – Scientific and engineering graphics – Application development, including graphical user interface

(GUI) building

• We will focus on the basic programming using MATLAB

What is Python?

• A high level programming language that we (humans) can understand (cf. C++ and Java) – Codes are readable and clear

– Execution is interactive (based on interpretation)

• Python can be used as an extension language for existing modules and applications that need a programmable interface

Textbook for MATLAB

• Your main text will be the lecture slides

• Useful (free) references

– Online documentation about MATLAB:

http://www.mathworks.co.kr/kr/help/matlab/

– WIKI Books (MATLAB Programming): http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/MATLAB_Programming

– Experiments with MATLAB Cleve Moler: http://www.mathworks.co.kr/moler/exm/

– Introduction to Programming With Matlab

Evaluation criteria

• 5 Assignments (40%)

– 1 essay + 4 programming assignments

• Term project (20%)

– Proposal (5%) + Project results (15%)

• Mid term exam (20%)

• Final term exam (20%)

Term project

• Students work in teams to design and implement a

software project which might be useful in practice.

• You should work in a small group of 2-3 students.

• Important dates

– Proposal: May 4

– Final report: June 15

Project proposal

• Your proposal should provide a detailed description of what your software will do and why this would be useful.

• Also, the description of all team members should be included.

• Finally, you should describe what programming language (i.e., MATLAB or Python) you will use.

Project results

• Your programming project should be of significant size, at least 1000 lines of your own code. Your programming project submission should include:

– source code

– basic setup instructions

– basic user instructions

– demonstration

1st (Warm-Up) Assignment

• Write an essay (350-400 words in English) about “computational thinking” after watching the movie clip and reading the article.

• In your essay,

describe what the “computational thinking” is

explain why we need to study the “computational thinking”

explain how the “computational thinking” can be used for your research field with some examples

• Do not just copy the material from the web and your friends. We will check the plagiarism on your report.

How to submit: use the email (eunhyun@skku.edu)

Deadline: Mar. 9 (midnight)

Plagiarism

• Discussion of course material and collaboration with other

students is encouraged but each student must write/type and

submit his/her own solution.

• Your codes (or documents) should never contain sections

which are identical to the submission of another student, past

or present.

– Submissions will be analyzed using Moss when applicable.

• Violation of these policies can result in automatic failure of

the course.

Late submission policy

• Assignments submitted after the due date/time are

considered late.

• You can hand in projects late. But there's a cost associated.

Each 24 hours (or part thereof) late will cost you 20%.

– Thus, if you hand something in that would have been worth 7 on time,

but it's 36 hours late, that means that you only get 7*0.8*0.8=4.48.
