Textbooks
Required:

MATLAB Programming for Engineers, S. J. Chapman, Brooks/Cole, 2000.

Java for Engineers and Scientists, S. J. Chapman, Prentice Hall, 2000.

Optional:

Java Software Solutions: Foundations of Program Design (2ed), John Lewis and William Loftus, Addison-Wesley, 2000. We recommend that you also investigate the authors' website.
Getting Started with MATLAB 5, by Rudra Pratap, Oxford-University Press, 1999.

Reserve Reading:

The Engineering Library (Carpenter) maintains a number of books on reserve, including the required and optional textbooks.
There are many other books available on Java and MATLAB. We strongly encourage you to investigate the library and other sources.

Software
CS100M employs a variety of software PCs and Macs. We do not require you to purchase any software. The following pages contain more information on the variety of software tools you will use:

Disks
You will need a few 3.5" floppy disks for your assignments. Why?

No personal files may be left on CIT's public machines.

CIT frequently cleans out files on the public machines.

So, you must store your files on your own disks. Other things to note:

Back up your programs to protect yourself in case something is lost, e.g., the night before the due date.
Note that most labs have Zip drives, but the instructors' machines don't.

Handouts
We will distribute handouts in lecture and usually post them on this website. Extras, if any, will be at Carpenter.

Examples
Lectures and Sections will often use examples to help demonstrate concepts and provide practice. Look at the Examples page for a full list.
