Homework 8 Update
There was a bug in the grader. I have uploaded a new
Homework Update
There are several updates we would like to share with
you:
Homework 8, the final set of programming assignments
are available. The first three problems are related to
Lesson 8. The remaining seven are general MATLAB
problems designed to test your programming ability at the
conclusion of the course. The deadline is about four
weeks away, so you have plenty of time. Note that the
starred (***) problems are indeed challenging and not the
usual few-line long functions. But most of you will have
already achieved the 67% passing grade after finishing
Homework 7, so just enjoy the feeling of accomplishment
as you solve these final problems. Enjoy!
The "official" solutions for Homework 4 are now
available.
There were a few cases of the grader not generating the
correct code. We have updated all the remaining
graders with a fix. If you have already solved and
submitted your work, you do not need to do anything. If
you are still working on a set, you may want to redownload the grader. Note that you still need a MATLAB
release of 2011 or later in order for the grader to generate
the expected codes.

Homework 7 Clarification
(roman)
We have updated the specification for the roman function
(HW7 Q7). The grader did not change, but the problem
specs did not match exactly our intentions and what the
grader is checking. If you have already solved this
problem and passed the grader, you are fine.

Homework Sub-Forums
I have created separate sub-forums for each week's
programming assignments under the Assignments forum.
Please, start using these when asking questions, making
comments. Hopefully this will provide better organization
to the very lively discussions going on.

Homework 7
The programming assignments for Lesson 7 are now
available. Sorry for the delay. The final set of problems
will be released in about a week. Have fun!

Homework 3 Solutions
The "official" solutions are now available here. Note that
even simple problems typically have multiple solutions.
So, if you solved any or all problems in a different way,
that is fine. As long as the grader was happy with your
results, you get the credit.

Lesson 7
Homework 6 Update
The grader for the Lesson 6 programming assignments
(hw6.p) have been updated. The only change is that the
test cases for approximate_pi have been relaxed after a
few people ran into rounding issues causing the grader to
fail otherwise correct solutions for the strictest tests.
There is no other change. If you have already submitted
your alphanumeric code including a good approximate_pi
solution, you do not need to do anything. If you are still
working on it, but have already downloaded the grader.
download it again and write over the old version. The way
to tell the difference is by checking the approximate_pi
problem. If it tests with 1e-15 and 1e-16, you are running
the old version.

Lesson 6
Lesson 6 is now available. Note the programming
assignments are getting progressively harder as we we
get through the material. Before you report an issue with
the grader, read the previous announcement and follow
the instructions how to report a problem. If you do not
provide the information we request, the likelihood of
getting an answer is lower. Posts supplying the necessary
information will have higher priority.

Issue reporting
We have started receiving comments on the discussion
forum about the grader being faulty. A couple of
observations:
Welcome to Computer
Programming with MATLAB
Greetings, aspiring programmers;
Welcome to the world of computer programming with
MATLAB. The course is now open, and the first two
weeks of video lectures and the first quiz are available.
To begin, you'll need to install MATLAB on your
computer. To download the installer, visit the course at
https://class.coursera.org/matlab-001 and look for the
"MATLAB Download" link in the left navigation bar. Note
that the default MATLAB version that comes up on the
download page is R2015a. While that should behave
nearly identically to 2014b as far as the material
presented in this course are concerned, it was the latter
that we used to prepare the videos and assignments.
Therefore we recommend you download and install
version R2014b.
We also offer an electronic companion textbook,
Computer Programming with MATLAB, written specifically
for this course. The lecture videos and other course
materials are designed to be self-contained, so the book
is optional. However, the e-book may be useful in
reinforcing the skills you'll learn in the online course and
for quickly looking things up instead of searching through
hours of videos.It also includes additional advanced
concepts which are beyond the scope of the course. The
book can be purchased for $9.99 at http://cs103.net/.
Finally, please take a few minutes to complete the
pre-course survey at https://class.coursera.org/matlab001/quiz/start?quiz_id=29. Information from this survey
helps us gain a better understanding of just who our
students are, and gives us useful feedback for improving
our course as well as all of Vanderbilt's MOOCs.
We hope you enjoy learning about computer
programming with MATLAB, and we look forward to
seeing you in the discussion forums.
Mike, Akos, & Robert
