Teach me the art of MATLAB, oh great one.

MATLAB... lol, now that is a fun program! We have several classes that 'try' to teach the art of making it work. It ends up being trial and error with the Engineering students chatting heavily with the Comp Sci folks to figure out how make it work. I must confess, I also rely on my fellow Comp Sci proffs to maximize the use of it. Something about needing to be a pure code slinger to get the syntax all correct.

BTW, I cheat and use MathCad - but don't tell anyone!

^ This, Teachers and Fiesta...just do not sit well in my head. Infact, Teachers and any kind of social interaction make me worried. o-o

Fluid mechanics is killing me. D:

That's why I teach EE!
