This page will be used to keep track of the commands and major concepts for each lab in EGR 103.
Lectures
- Lecture 1 - Introduction
- Class web page: EGR 103L; assignments, contact info, readings, etc - see slides on Errata/Notes page
- Sakai page: Sakai 103L page; grades, surveys and tests, some assignment submissions
- Piazza page: Piazza 103L page; message board for questions
- Lecture 2 - Programs and Programming
- To play with Python:
- Install it on your machine or a public machine: Download
- Use a Duke container with Spyder: Containers - note - these do not have access to your Duke files. More on how to connect that later.
- Quick tour of Python
- Editing window, variable explorer, and console
- Variable explorer is your friend
- From Dewey - programming language typically have ability to work with input, output, math, conditional execution, and repetition
- Hilton and Bracy Seven Steps
- Class work developing algorithm for program to determine if a number is prime
- To play with Python:
- Lecture 3
- 7 Steps for finding prime numbers
- prime program -- includes intro to input(), if tree, for loop, print(), remainder %
- Lecture 4
- Function definitions
- Positional and key word arguments (kwargs)
- Default values
- Returns tuples -- can be received by a single item or a tuple of the right size
- Aquarium
- Function definitions
- Lecture 5
- print() and format specifications: link
- relational and logical operators - how they work on item, string, list, tuple
- if trees
- while loops
- for loops
- counting characters program
- printing latex code from Python
Labs
- Lab 1
- Unix commands: pwd, cd, ls, mkdir, wget, tar, cp, latex, dvipdf, evince, xeyes
- Other concepts: MobaXterm, XQuartz, ssh
- Windows permissions were covered, but were only needed during this one lab.
- Mounting CIFS drives was covered, but will not be needed for lab 1.
- Three parts of lab:
- Once only ever: creating EGR 103 folder, setting Windows permissions
- Once per lab: creating lab1 folder, wget-ting files, tar expansion, duplicate lab skeleton
- Doing work: changing to lab1 folder; using emacs, latex, dvipsd, and evince correctly
- Work on lab every day - at least logging in, changing directories, using (emacs, latex, dvipdf, evince)
- Work a little at a time to help with debugging
