MATLAB
The practical classes require the use of MATLAB. The following notes provide a brief introduction to MATLAB:
The practicals for this course take place in the K11 computer laboratory, which has access to MATLAB.
If you wish to access MATLAB from your own computer the university has a Total Academic Headcount MATLAB license, which allows you to install MATLAB locally on your machine. Alternatively, with this license you can use MATLAB Online, which allows you to access a (lightweight) instance of MATLAB directly in your web browser; this should be sufficient for this course.
In order to install MATLAB locally, or access MATLAB Online, you must register for a MathWorks account using an email address ending with cuni.cz. Detailed instructions are available at cuni.cz/UKEN-1270.html.
Homework
There will be two homeworks during the course of the year. Obtaining credit for the practical course will involve completion of these homeworks with at least 50%.
Exam
The exam will consist of two parts - a written and oral exam.
Course credit for the practicals must be obtained in order to enroll for the exam.
