Lab 2: Friday, Jan. 16, 2015

We will be using IPython notebooks in this lab, so please make sure you can open a notebook on your laptop, or on SageMathCloud.

See Python for some references and tutorials for Python and notebooks.

Obtain the IPython notebook we’ll be using via:

cd $AM574
git pull

cp -r $AM574/labs/lab2 $MY574
cd $MY574/lab2

then open the notebook $MY574/lab2/AdvectionTests.ipynb.

Note: This assumes you have defined the environment variables $AM574 and $MY574 as suggested in last week’s lab (Lab 1: Friday, Jan. 9, 2015). See Class GitHub Repository, which now summarizes how to do this.

Material added after lab:

• A version of the notebook with sample solutions to the questions posed is now in $MY574/lab2/AdvectionTestsSolutions.ipynb and can be viewed here.
• Video from the lab presentation.
