Julia: To use Julia from your browser, click here: https://juliabox.org/ and log in with your google account, or github or linkedin accounts.
Projects: There are 10 projects due.
The actual work that must be submitted is from an ipython notebook file run in Julia. Once you have opened the project notebook you can run the notebook with Cells-Run All. Feel free to open a spare Julia notebook for rough work while working on the project, but remember to type "using MTH229" on the first line. When you are finished with the notebook close it with File->Close and Halt.
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.
We've updated the main set of projects - everything should be working now as long as you use kernel 1.0.0.
For Project 5:
Switch to kernel 1.0.0
If you have an old version of the project, this is the correct lim function:
function lim(f::Function, c::Real; n::Int=6, dir="+")
hs = [(1/10)^i for i in 1:n] # close to 0
if dir == "+"
xs = c .+ hs
else
xs = c .- hs
end
ys = map(f, xs)
[xs ys]
