CS 525 Linear Programming
   			     MATLAB Setup

Most of the assignments for this course will be carried out with 
the aid of MATLAB, an interactive package for high performance scientific 
computing.  To set up your account on a Unix machine to use MATLAB, 
the following should be carried out.

If logged in directly on a nova or tux  machine (e.g. tux1 to tux40 or
nova1 to nova40)) then:

At the unix prompt, immediately after you login, do the following:
  
tux10> mkdir matlab
tux10> cp ~cs525-1/public/startup.m  ~/matlab/startup.m
tux10> matlab &
 
The last command should set up a separate window in which matlab
should be running.  MATLAB has a built in editor that you should
use that mimics many of the standard windows key operations.  It
will enable you to create any `m' files that you need for your work.
All the function files that are created by the instructor as well
as the homework and project data files in the public directory:   

  ~cs525-1/public  
  
are now available to you for use in MATLAB. For example the function
file ljx.m performs a labeled Jordan exchange within MATLAB and its
use is described in the text. 

If the start up time for MATLAB is too long for you, and you do not
use the "Matlab desktop", then the following might be useful to you:

tux10> matlab -nojvm  
This disables the Java virtual machine, and the Matlab desktop will
not start.  Alternatively:
        
tux10> matlab -nodesktop      
This disables the Matlab desktop, and allows the JVM to start.

For all homework assignments you should hand in your results produced 
as follows:
 
tux10> matlab
>> diary hwk1.lastname.firstname
>> load hwk1
>> .....whatever homework 1 requires 
>> diary off
>> exit
tux10> print -2up hwk1.lastname.firstname

Remote Unix Machine Users 
-------------------------
Suppose you are logged remotely on a machine called cheddar.
On a cheddar window you do the following:

cheddar> xhost +tux10

In the tux10 window on cheddar:

tux10> setenv DISPLAY cheddar:0
tux10> matlab

First-Time Users
----------------
Go to a Unix terminal that is a displaying a login window. 
Type in "newuser" without quotes next to login and hit return.
Follow next instruction:
[Type] UW Identification Number (10 digits)
and subsequent instructions.
