Course Objective

To familiarize students with open source academic software like Scilab or licensed software like Matlab to carryout experiments in various fields in due course like computer graphics and multimedia, soft-computing, image processing, data mining etc. Experimental works in web design will enable students to design web pages and develop web based projects.

Practicals

  • Write your first Matlab/Scilab program.

  • Extract an individual element of an array

  • Write Matlab/Scilab program to illustrate loops and control statements.

  • Create a simple plot.

  • Name the title, axes title of the plot.

  • Create a webpage with HTML describing your department on following points: Use paragraph and list tags. Apply various colors to suitably distinguish key words. Also apply font styling like italics, underline and two other fonts to words you find appropriate. Also use header tags.

  • Create a web page using HTML for following: Create a table to show your class time-table. Use tables to provide layout to your HTML page describing your university infrastructure.
