Course Description
This is a computational laboratory course that accompanies linear algebra. Using MATLAB, a mathematical software, solutions to a variety of mathematical problems are determined: for example, problems in matrices, determinants, arithmetic and geometric series; sets of different types of inequalities; systems involving quadratics and its application in solving linear systems; eigenvalues and eigenvectors. A discussion on basic MATLAB programming is also included.

Course Objectives and Relationship to Program Objectives

It is a laboratory course in mathematics. Its goals are to give the students sufficient understanding of MATLAB and its application for the purpose of developing students skill in solving problems and to apply their acquired learning in engineering applications.

It prepares students to recognize patterns and formulate rules as a first step to develop students skill for independent critical thinking. The course aims to develop the students zest for knowledge, application and appreciation of an orderly and logical solution as guided by the different principles undertaken in the course.

Attendance
According to CHED policy, total number of absences by the students should not be more than 20% of the total number of meetings or 9 hrs for this one-unit-course. Student incurring more than 9 hours of absences automatically gets a failing grade regardless of class standing.

Honor, Dress and Grooming Codes

All of us have been instructed on the Dress and Grooming Codes of the Institute. We have all committed to obey and sustain these codes. It will be expected in this class that each of us will honor the commitments that we have made.

For this course the Honor Code is that there will be no plagiarizing on written work and no cheating on exams. If a student is caught on two exams, the student will be referred to the Prefect of Student Affairs and given a failing grade.

Consultation Schedule
Consultation schedules with the Professor are posted outside the Mathematics Faculty Room. It is recommended that the student first set an appointment to confirm the instructors availability if outside the consultation schedules.

Computer Laboratory Guidelines

No student shall be allowed to enter the laboratory without his or her Instructor. EATING, DRINKING, LITTERING and VANDALISM in any form are strictly prohibited. All belongings shall place in the designated areas. Valuables and important belongings should be brought in. The assigned personnel is not liable for any loses or damages that would occur.

A strict one (1) computer to one (1) student ratio shall be observed. Students are not allowed to use external devices without the approval of the Deputy Director for Systems Administration. Students must notify the assign personnel in charge regarding any errors and/or breakages of facilities and/or equipment in their designated areas. No excessive noise. Using mobile phone or any musical instrument is strictly prohibited . Diskettes are not allowed. Accessing the internet is prohibited.
