Metabolic Modelling, Spring 09 (4 cr, 2 cu)

Excercise 2

The second weeks excercises are computer practicals where we learn MATLAB. No homework is required, but if you are not familiar with MATLAB, we encourage you to study some tutorials beforehand.

We will have a set of tasks to accomplish using MATLAB, and pairing with classmates and asking for help is encouraged. Everyone is free to work on the tasks at their own pace, while the assistant can be asked for help.

Practicals will be held in BK107 on tuesday 24.3 at 16.15.
