Brief MATLAB Introduction

Dear Faculty,

As part of the NSF-RTG program, we have initiated research training modules
(RTM) each Friday on topics that augment coursework or cover research or career
topics not typically covered in classes.  We announce these to all Math grad students
and all are welcome to attend.  If you have graduate students in your classes
who you think might benefit from certain topics, please feel free to announce
them to your class.

Software and resources associated with the RTM are maintained at the website

  http://www4.ncsu.edu/~mahaider/NCSU_RTG_Site/RTG_RTMs.html

The RTM topic for this coming Friday is summarized below.

RTM 2:  Friday, September 12
Time:  3:00-4:00 pm
HA 330

Presenter: Adam Attarian
Topic: Matlab topics including optimization, ODE solvers, plotting
and visualization, and exporting figures in formats appropriate
for papers and presentations.  This will include both some basic
Matlab for folks just getting started as well as more advanced topics
such as changing fonts in figures, adding Latex fonts, and changing
linewidths.

Thanks!

Ralph
