Welcome!
Welcome to the beginnings of the Pratt FAQ, hosted at DukeEgr93.net. We currently have 589 mainspace articles along with several policy and special pages.
This wiki is specifically devoted to asking and answering questions Pratt students may have about computational methods, MATLAB, LaTeX, and other software or hardware tools typically used in engineering classes. Note that this is not a general Duke wiki - for that, please see Duiki, hosted by Andrew Tutt.
Getting Started
This wiki uses MediaWiki, the same program used by Wikipedia. If you are familiar with that program, you are pretty much good to go here. If not, the Wikipedia Tutorial should come in very handy, especially the parts on editing, formatting, and talk pages. Wikimedia also has a list of help pages for editors.
Projects
At present, there are two places to check out current projects. One is the To Do list, which will be a running update of wiki-centric tasks such as which templates and categories have been added. The other is the Projects page, where people can either request additions to the site or look to see possible new pages to create. With respect to the latter, the Wanted Pages page will automatically list any dead-end links that need pages.
Contacts
This site is primarily a project of Dr. Michael Gustafson (whose typical screenname is DukeEgr93). If you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions, you can contact him via e-mail at mrg(at)duke(dot)edu or by leaving a message on DukeEgr93's talk page.
