Open the HelloBruce.m file that was in the zipped folder. If you go to the File dropdown menu you can open a Freemat file in the usual way. This is not generally what we will do but it is a capability Freemat has. You can type various mathematical commands following the cursor (→) in the right hand window and it will execute them for you.
Freemat comments software#
This command window is a relatively primitive version of an IDE (Interactive Development Environment) which is how the software and the code you write communicate with you. When you start up Freemat after you have installed it a command window should open that looks something like this (I run a Mac in my real life so there will be differences for Windows users but they should be minor):
Freemat comments zip file#
In the attached zip file you should eventually find a HelloBruce1.0.m file. Your computer will find the appropriate software to unpack the zip file and then you can copy the files to where ever you want (just don't leave them in your download folder!). For most computers this is as simple as double clicking and away we go. In order for you to access the Freemat file you must 'unzip' the. All Freemat files like the one linked above are active code and the college email server will remove them from an email unless they are zipped. This protects the receiver of the potentially active computer code.
A compressed (zipped) file will not execute immediately when you download it. Compressed files are not just for reducing file size but also for transfering active code between users.
Freemat comments install#
So far Freemat has continued to install successfully on iOS, Windows 10, and various Linux distros.įor some of you this task will be simple and for others it may be new. If you have never done this before find a friend with some experience to help walk you through it. Commercial apps tend to have well developed installers that make this easy but the open source world is a little less simple sometimes. If you have difficulties let me know.Įvery group of students is different but I am often surprised at how many students have not actually installed significant open source software on their computers. For me, the first link under the download heading has been successful at autodetecting which version of the software I need. Go to the Freemat installation link which will take you to the sourceforge site where you can download the software. The installation instructions are on the Software Resources page (see above) that you can access from the PH211 homepage. Otherwise installing the software on your own machine is much preferable. The only COCC computers that I know of that have it are locked in the physics lab but they are available during the week if a faculty member will pull one out for you. Your basic task for this week is to install Freemat on your personal computer or find a computer you have access to that has it. You will need to download this zipped file ( HelloBruce1.0.m.zip) for this lab: Installation instructions (very simplistic), tutorials, and files that you need can be accessed from the PH211 Software Resources page.
Here are the steps you are going to try to get through before next week. There is a lot to do here depending on how experienced you are with software and programming. Installing Octave, particularly on Mac's, is much more complex than Freemat so until I work out a way to make that complexity more manageable we'll stick with Freemat. I am aware that Freemat is no longer being developed and I will be moving to GNU Octave over the next year or so.

Since we have a week where we have no formal lab due to the MLK holiday it seems like this would be a good time to get you all started on installing and learning how to open a Freemat file (filename.m).
