Important Dates (http://www.csi.cuny.edu/currentstudents/academiccalendars/)
Julia: To use Julia from your browser, click here: https://juliabox.org/ and log in with your google account. To load the projects:
Projects: There are 10 projects due. The projects are available at https://mth229.github.io/
Projects: There are 10 projects due. The projects are available at https://mth229.github.io/
You can also get notes that accompany each project from http://mth229.github.io. The actual work that must be submitted is from an ipython notebook file meant to be run in IJulia. For example, the first project looks like this link. But the notes for that project are here.
To load all of the MTH 229 IJulia notebooks, from https://juliabox.com use the "Sync" tab:
Click the "Sync" tab
In "Git Clone URL" box type: https://github.com/mth229/229-projects
Click the "+" button under "Action"
Alternative method to load a project notebook into JuliaBox, using drag-and-drop: Click on the ipynb link for each project in http://mth229.github.io to download the *.ipynb file, then click on Files in JuliaBox, then "Drag and drop" the downloaded file into JuliaBox.
To work on your project, click on Jupyter in JuliaBox, and click on the *.ipynb file. If you don't see your project, click on the "Refresh" icon in the upper right corner. If asked by IJulia, choose Julia version 0.4.* for now.
To submit your project, use the CSI MATLAB project grading site at http://www.math.csi.cuny.edu/MATLAB/Login. Keep both the ipython notebook open and the MATLAB grading project tab open so that you can copy and paste your answers.
Finally, set up some external packages. Run the command: Pkg.clone("https://github.com/mth229/MTH229.jl") You will only need this command once this semester. Then run the command: using MTH229 You will need this command every time you start (or restart) Julia. For more details, see Step 2 of Using Juliabox with MTH229.
