Some Useful MATLAB Links

The following links point to online introductory material on using
MATLAB. NOTE: Some instructions may be specific to the computer
systems in use at the institutions where the online materials reside; ignore
those instructions.

Software Used in Textbook

Some of the figures in the texbook can be replicated using freely available
MATLAB software (see page 28). You can download this software, called
DFIELD5 and PPLANE5 for MATLAB Version 5.3, from the following
page:

http://math.rice.edu/~dfield/

At the above site you can also experiment with the JAVA Applet versions
of DFIELDand PPLANE.

If you cannot figure out how to download DFIELD and PPLANE from
the above site let me know so I can help you.

The following link provides some (not complete) instructions on how to use
an older version of the DFIELD and PPLANE MATLAB scripts:

Useful JAVA Applets for ODE's

The following links are to applets that demonstrate direction
fields and a few numerical methods for Ordinary Differential
Equations:
