Lab 2 Grading Explanation
If you have questions about the correct programming approach, or what the graphs should look like for your group's particular data, please contact the TA directly.
Lab 3 (11/8, 11/9)
Lab 3 Instructions for Data Analysis
split.m, and sub-function nozero.m - Matlab file used to pre-process the "ta_harmonic.txt" file - will need to be modified before using with data for the lab groups.
