| Course material |
I will hand out notes for this course during the lectures, so you don't have to frantically scribble and to cover the odd missed lecture, however there is more in the set text so I encourage you to read this as well. Sometimes I may cover additional work in the lectures (eg extra problems etc).
I will also hand out Tutorial sheets, with assignment questions on them and solutions to assignment questions a week or so later.
Tutorial Sheets and Lecture Notes are also available in pdf form from the profile. Click here to view the course profile.
Getting started on the computing.
Here is the Matlab m-file to define the nerve system
function dy = nerve(t,y,flag,c)
dy = [y(1)+y(2)-y(1)^3;-c*y(1)] ;
Here is a basic m-file to integrate the nerve system and plot the phase portrait.
y0=[1.5,0]; < p>tfinal=20;
c=0.5;
[t,y]= ode45('nerve',[0,tfinal],y0,[],c);
u=y(:,1);, v=y(:,2);
plot(u,v)
If you are unfamiliar with matlab I can email these files to you. cah@maths.uq.edu.au
