The Scariest Literature?

I feel Signals and Systems isn't too scary if accompanied with #MATLAB, GNU #Octave, #Scilab, or similar. And if you have #ham radio experience, you can do VERY well in this class! This did give me a run for my money in undergrad though.

Hello Fediverse 👋

We are FOSSEE, IIT Bombay 🇮🇳
Empowering education through Free/Libre and Open Source Software (FLOSS).

We promote open source in teaching & research, support FOSS development, build campus FOSSEE Clubs, and connect academia with industry.

Let’s collaborate 🤝

I try to simulate an asymmetric pendulum, which length L(alpha) is l for alpha>0 and l/2 for alpha<0. I though the situation can be described by the differential equation :
L(alpha)*alpha'' +g*sin(alpha)=0
but when I plot the total energy over the time
E= (1/2)*m*(L(alpha)*alpha')^2+m*g*y
it is not constant !?! So I probably loose some term in the equation ...

Now #scilab accept anonymous functions definition with a syntax close to #matlab #gnuoctave , this make translation between this langages easier. For example :

f=@(t) exp(-t.^2); %% octave syntax
f=#(t) -> (exp(-t.^2)); // scilab syntax
