EWS has created the work directories for cs257/math257. To access them, you should type 'cs257' at a unix/linux prompt. If you want to use them from Windows, you would first need to login on a unix/linux machine and run 'cs257'. This will create a link in their homedirectory named 'cs257.work'. Now, on an EWS Windows machine, if you go to their EWS Home Directory, you should be able to click on 'cs257.work' to get to your cs257 work directory. Let EWS know if you have further questions or concerns.

EWS has UNIX MATLAB info HERE

There are also reports that VNC software (such as RealVNC) can be used from home to connect to the EWS computers in order to run MATLAB.

The machines are: csil-termserv1.cs.uiuc.edu and csil-termserv2.cs.uiuc.edu

MATLAB is available free at Cites Webstore. You will need to be online when running the free version. Stand alone licenses (which do not require you to be online) are also available at the CITES Webstore and at The MathWorks Using the free version of MATLAB from off-campus requires VPN or similar software so that your computer appears to be in the uiuc.edu domain. VPN is available free at the CITES Webstore.

Octave is also an alternative and is also free. A windows executable can be found HERE.

The TA's will teach 2 MATLAB tutorials. The topics covered in the tutorials are given HERE. The first tutorial was September 5th 5 PM to 6 PM in Siebel 0220 and the second one on September 20, 2007, 5 PM to 6 PM in Siebel 0220.
