Progress Report - October 24th, 2016

We were able to make some progress on the basics of Matlab. Using the trial of Matlab, a tutorial course is provided, and we are currently in the process of using this tutorial course. This will allow us to understand the basic infrastructure of Matlabs, the commands Matlab has for us to use, and just a basic familiarity with the Matlab program itself. Here are the things were accomplished in the course, and some possible/useful notes for later.

Mastered:
- Entering Commands
- Storing Data in Variables
- Using Built-In Functions and Constants
- Manually Entering Arrays
- Creating Evenly-Spaced Vectors
- Array Creation Functions
- and others

Useful Notes:
- the clear function will clear the data in the Workspace (where data variables are stored)
- the clc function will clear the Command Window
- you can name your Matlab variables anything as long as they start with a letter and are only made of letters, numbers, and underscores (_)
- you can set your variables equal to values, for example, m = 20, and it will be stored in the Workspace for later use
- to use such variables, use the "up" button on your computer to look at past functions and commands
- there are many built-in functions and values like pi, sin, and abs.
- All Matlab variables are arrays, each variable can contain multiple elements, a single number is called a scalar.
- using the rand function, you can create matrices with random values

We will add more resources over time. Also, notes on these research papers will be posted, mostly explaining the most useful aspects of these past experiments that can help us for our work.

We will most likely post notes on these articles during the weekend of October 15 - 16.
