* Matlab: We use this commercial software to do scientific/numerical calculations throughout the lab. It's strength lies in matrix/vector calculations and graphics (see prob2_vector.m of Problem 2, for example).
* Xemacs: This is one of the most widely used text editors. It is recommended to use in writing a Matlab program in this lab. But, if you are familiar with other text editors, go for it.
* Netscape: No need to explain, I hope.
* Acrobat Reader: This is a free software to read PDF (Portable Document Format) files (file name with .pdf). PDF is a widely used format to store/distribute document on internet, becoming standard. Many governments even use this as standard electric format for documents.
* Ghostview: This is one of the most widely used viewer for postscript files (file name with .ps or .eps). You can create *.eps files with Matlab to print out the results of figures or export to different softwares.
* Entire list of softwares can be listed on the display by typing "module avail".

* Matlab: First type "module load matlab", and then type "matlab".
* Xemacs: Type "xemacs".
* Netscape: Type "netscape".
* Acrobat Reader: First type "module load acrobat", and then type "acroread".
* Ghostview: Type "gv".
* If you want to run more than one software at the same time in one terminal window, use "&". For example, type "xemacs&" instead of "xemacs".

* The names of the terminals in the room A93 are "helnwein", "bosch", "tizian", "munch", "bruegel", "davinci", "rodin", "escher", "giacometti", and "yoshitoshi". Complete names are all followed by "unibe.ch".
* You probably don't need any remote access (and export display), so I don't write how to do it here.
