Primer addenda

[Timothy Cyders]

All (but mostly Gary),

I've uploaded to the google groups folder a pdf of additional chapters to the FreeMat Primer - a basic introduction to numerical methods with example programs and scripts, as well as introductions to more advanced freemat techniques. It is far from complete, but any feedback I could get would really help me turn it into something useful. As I've been playing around with the threading capabilities lately (WOW is this powerful!), I'd like to include that in some of my more advanced programs for finite element code, etc. too!

Awesome, Tim! Can you also provide it in OO (.odt) format so that I
can directly put it into the full Primer? Oh, and as part of my work
on one of my master's classes, I have a couple of examples for the
Simpson's algorithm for numerical integration.

Gary,

Sure. It's up now in the group's files section. Is there any way to do a collaborative document through OpenOffice? I know different authors can insert notes/track changes, etc., but we might need a server both of us can write to. It'd just be nice to have one version instead of having to trade file versions back and forth and try to keep changes straight.

Yes, OpenOffice has the ability to put in notes (my working version
has about a dozen currently) and the ability to track versioning. And
I wholeheartedly agree on the "work on one version together" rather
than independent. I guess we just need to figure out a way to keep it
online. Any ideas?

We could set up a small ftp server and host the main file on that, or we could do something like a version checkout. Is there a way to do this through the FreeMat Wiki? I know other wikis allow tracking changes to files, etc. Assuming you're running Karmic, perhaps we can use something from Ubuntu One? Just a few ideas to toss around.
