It is recommended that the project for this course be carried out 
with the aid of MATLAB, an interactive package for high performance 
scientific computing.  However you can use C or Fortran or any
other language that you wish.

Activating MATLAB
-----------------
1. Create a directory in your home directory called 'matlab', that is:

	mkdir matlab

2. Copy the file /p/course/cs730-olvi/public/startup.m to this directory, 
that is:
 
	cp /p/course/cs730-olvi/public/startup.m  matlab/startup.m

Recommended Quadratic Program Solvers in MATLAB
-----------------------------------------------
qpw       (wrapper for quadprog)

quadprog

Within MATLAB do:

help qpw

help quadprog

WARNING: DO NOT USE  qp  IN MATLAB. It is lousy!
