|
6 This Wednesday we will have a Scilab workshop conducted at IIT Bombay. |
|
7 |
|
8 Date: Wednesday, 26th January, 2011 |
|
9 Venue: A1/A2, Mathematics Department, IIT Bombay |
|
10 Time: 10:00am to 05:30pm |
|
11 |
|
12 Scilab is a free and open source platform (on various operating systems) for |
|
13 numerical computation. This workshop will benefit those who use, or intend |
|
14 to use, numerical packages like MATLAB for their computational needs. |
|
15 |
|
16 You are required to bring your own laptop for this workshop. You will need |
|
17 to download and install Scilab for this workshop from: |
|
18 http://www.scilab.org/download |
|
19 Linux users may find Scilab to be available |
|
20 from their package manager- please install before coming. |
|
21 |
|
22 It is also recommended that you bring your own headphones for this workshop, |
|
23 although a limited number will be made available at the venue. The morning |
|
24 session will use spoken tutorials (video screencast explanations) to cover |
|
25 the following topics: |
|
26 |
|
27 - Introductory Scilab |
|
28 - Matrix Operations |
|
29 - Scripts and Functions |
|
30 - Plotting |
|
31 |
|
32 It is required that you download the spoken tutorials *before* coming for |
|
33 the workshop. Unlike the weekend, |
|
34 an internet connection will not be available at the venue. |
|
35 |
|
36 The spoken tutorials are available at: |

|
39 (You may download all tutorials in one file using the ALL-Tutorials.tar.gz |
|
40 file) |
|
41 |
|
42 The afternoon session will consist of short demonstrations on the following |
|
43 topics (roughly in this sequence): |
|
44 |
|
45 - Conditional Branching and Iteration |
|
46 - Polynomials |
|
47 - Ordinary Differential Equations |
|
48 - Control Systems |
|
49 - Signal Processing/Filter Design |
|
50 - Image Processing |
|
51 - Chemical Engineering Applications |
|
52 - XCos (Block diagram simulation environment like Simulink on Matlab) |
|
53 |
|
54 Here are a few more areas that Scilab can be applied to; |
|
55 we will NOT be covering for shortage of time: |
|
56 |
|
57 - Data acquisition and hardware control |
|
58 - Wavelets |
|
59 - Data analysis, Statistics and Probability |
|
60 - Linear Algebra and Optimization |
|
61 - Video processing |
|
62 - Communication |
|
63 - Graph theory |
|
64 - Artificial Neural Networks |
|
65 - Symbolic computations |
