Credit: Approximately 10 points (Relative, and very rough absolute weighting)
This assignment should be written up individually, but you can discuss the problems with others if you like. If you have substantive discussion on the approach to problems with pepole other than the instructor, please make a note of it where relevant.
You can do the programming parts of this assignment in any language you like including Matlab or C/C++ except one optional challenge problem which would have to be done in C. There is no need to learn or use C/C++ in this course, but that is an option for the few that might be tempted.
Information for those working in C/C++.
You need to hand in both a PDF as well as any code that you wrote.
Late policy: Once the grader has finished the grading, assignments will no longer be graded. Note that the system for handing in assignments allows you to update your assignment. However, if you do this after the grader has graded yours, they will not notice.
A link to a pdf for the assignment.
To hand in the above, use the turnin program available on lectura (turnin key is ista410_hw2).
For those not familiar with turnin:
To hand in files using turnin you need to sign onto machine lectura, and make sure that the files you want to hand in are in a directory that lectura sees, and then change to that directory. Note that your home directory on the graphics machines and lectura is the same, so if you have just tested your program on a graphics machine, you have probably done all the file transferring that you need to do. To hand in file XXX, you would do the following:
turnin ista410_hw2 XXXTo hand in multiple files, you can have additional files after the XXX, or do this multiple times. For a different assignment, you will need to use a different key (e.g., ista410_hw3).
For more detailed instructions, use:
man turninon lectura.
