Matlab Codes

Download the 'bare minimum' Euler code. You might want to test this code with the function called fun on the interval [0,2] with initial condition y(0)=.5 while using the step size h=.2.
On the Matlab prompt, type euler('fun',0,2,.5,.2).

Here is a linear system solver for triangular nxn matrix. This code directly solves Ax=b via LU decomposition; i.e. Lz=b is solved for z and Ux=z is then solved for x.
On the Matlab prompt, type triLUpvt(A,b). (Input your choice of A and b).
