Welcome!

Welcome to the beginnings of the Pratt FAQ, hosted at DukeEgr93.net. 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.

Projects

At present, there are two places to check out current projects. One is the ToDo 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.

Editing Help

This site is hosted using MediaWiki - which is the same program used by Wikipedia. Wikimedia has a list of help pages for editors that might prove handy for working on 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.
