Compulsory Assignments

The assignments, which are an important part of the course, will have an another character than usual. They will be solved in groups of two to three students and the essential will be that you really have worked and tried to solve the problems -- really given them a thought and reconsidered the results -- even if you fail to solve the problems satisfactorily. You are encouraged to discuss the assignments both with your teacher and with other groups. The assignments are mandatory. At the seminar you must hand in one copy of your group's results (even if you have not completely solved the problem) and be prepared to present the results at the blackboard for the class.
Due to the compressed schedule, the time to do the assignments is very short. You are invited to ask for guidance as soon as you need. Don't wait until you have worked late in the night looking for programming errors and you will be short of time.

Note also that you have one assignment for the self-study part.

You can find the six assignments here as PDF files, in Swedish or in English. For the first three assignments you can use the following matlab scripts:
main.m, leapfrog.m, changepars.m, initial.m, moviedriver.m, play.m, record.m, show.m.

To copy a file, click on the file name while pressing the shift button. Copy all files, edit the file leapfrog.m at indicated rows, and start your simulation in matlab by running main.
