3.4 Assignment
3.4.1 Palm 5.2
Pretty straightforward. Remember to use a large number of points for finding numerical extrema and a decidedly smaller number of points for making the plot.
3.4.2 Palm 5.21/6.7
Just three different ways of looking at a data set!
3.4.3 Chapra 3.9
The core of this problem is to learn how to make a surface plot with contours. MATLAB:Plotting_Surfaces contains a great deal of information about this process. The meshgrid command is especially important.
3.4.4 Palm 5.30-5.32
The main programming concepts here are using subplots and creating a contour plot. More information can be found at MATLAB:Contour_Plots
3.4.5 Palm 5.34
IBID
3.4.6 Palm 4.28
This problem expands on making surface plots to using 2-D matrices to solve optimization problems. MATLAB:Plotting_Surfaces and MATLAB:Contour_Plots will be useful in making the plots. The section MATLAB:Plotting_Surfaces#Finding_Minima_and_Maxima_in_2-D will be especially helpful in terms of finding the best location for the distribution center. Also, Douglas Adams wrote funny books.
