Introduction to MATLAB for Geomorphology part of Teaching Computation with MATLAB:Teaching with MATLAB 2015:Teaching Activities
Risa Madoff, University of North Dakota-Main Campus
This is a lab for a Geomorphology course intended to introduce students to modeling landform evolution by means of applying a common sediment transport law to the erosion of a hillslope over time. MATLAB is used to ...
Introduction to Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) part of Teaching Computation with MATLAB:MATLAB Workshop 2018:Activities
Michelle Isenhour, Naval Postgraduate School
This activity introduces graduate-level students to one-way (single-factor) analysis of variance (ANOVA). The students are familiar with MATLAB, but have little-to-no experience with ANOVA. The activity is ...
Introduction to strings and DNA/protein sequence alignments part of Teaching Computation with MATLAB:MATLAB Workshop 2018:Activities
Benjamin Bratton, Vanderbilt University
This is problem set that helps solidify concepts of computational processing (accessing data, parsing data, visualizing data, using preconstructed tools) and sequence matching, specifically in the context of ...

Introduction to geochemical calculations using MATLAB part of Teaching Computation with MATLAB:MATLAB Workshop 2017:Activities
Don Baker, McGill University
This activity is designed to teach the students how to find and use MATLAB functions to solve equations and to write simple programs to calculate chemical equilibria.
Introduction to Occupational and Rehabilitation Biomechanics part of Teaching Computation with MATLAB:MATLAB Workshop 2018:Activities
Manuel Hernandez, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
Students are instructed to create a biomechanical model in MATLAB to simulate reaching as far forward and as fast as possible without falling. The goal of the project is to produce a model using realistic ...
Introduction to Matlab: A first glimpse at new data part of Teaching Computation with MATLAB:MATLAB Workshop 2016:Teaching Activities
Carlye Peterson, Cuesta College
Introduction to Matlab: A first glimpse at new data. The purpose of this exercise is to familiarize students with basic Matlab functions and techniques so they can load and plot data. With this lab exercise, ...
Glacier Flow Model and Introduction to Monte Carlo Methods part of Teaching Computation with MATLAB:MATLAB Workshop 2019:Activities
Dan Morgan, Vanderbilt University
The goal of this assignment is for students to recognize that adding some randomization and "noise" to a model yields different results each time we run the model, and we can pull some useful statistics ...
