Since many students at CNS use MATLAB for their modeling work, and most CNS classes require students to run MATLAB simulations, the CNSO offers a tutorial for those who don't have MATLAB experience. In 2009, the tutorials tooke place on Tuesdays and Thursdays during the first two weeks of September (see the calendar). During each tutorial, several documents were used and manipulated, or created on the fly, for instruction purposes. These documents and other useful information are included below. For more reading about MATLAB, some students have found a MATLAB Quick Reference guide by Jialong He to be useful.
