<p>My D is taking math 151 (which has a lecture and a math lab). The homework is done on an online homework site....which works great in the mathlab. How does one get a copy for their laptop so they can do homework? My D has asked the instructor, who claims to not be techno literate, the math lab TA said he only discusses online homework on certain days (not today apparently), she called A+ tutoring but they do not have anyone that covers the online homework thing....she called the math department and was told they have a list of tutors on the bulletin board. </p>
<p>She doesn't need help with the actual math work, she needs help finding the program and figuring out how to log into it from outside the math lab. Has anyone figured this out yet?</p>
<p>I’m 90% certain that my son went somewhere to do his MatLab work. He was confused also and went to the computer lab (SCC?) to a tutorial session that first night that helped. </p>
<p>If you PM me I can give you his cell#. Your daughter could call and ask him.</p>
<p>Matlab (not mathlab) is likely what you are referring to. It’s a powerful programming-based math application that is used in introductory calculus courses. The student version can be downloaded online for $100. I myself bought it for home use. It’s a VERY useful program once you get into upper level engineering work.</p>
<p>If you or your son/daughter doesn’t want to fork over the $100, pretty much any computer lab on campus has it (and Maple, another similar program). The SCC, Blocker, and many department-based computer labs have Matlab on their computers.</p>
<p>Any online math homework can be accessed from any computer with internet, so that’s where I based this assumption of what you were referring to.</p>
<p>This is what I did two days ago and now I can work on matlab whenever I want to on my laptop. To be able to print on your own machine though you must attach the file through nomachine and email it to yourself so you can have the file on your computer.</p>
<p>Allthisisnewtome - I think she has enough info to solve this now. I would PM you but I haven’t figured out how to do that…thanks for the offer, I may have to figure out how to PM if the download info provided by TXAggie92 doesn’t work.</p>
<p>haha… just for future reference, just click on the poster’s “name” and select “Send a private message…”</p>
<p>I hope my son has it figured out now too. He was stressed out on the first day. He said the teacher was difficult to understand, but something was due the following class period. Luckily he learned about that tutorial session - I think that helped him a lot.</p>
<p>My daughter followed the advice from TXAggie92 and managed to get what she needed. She was a little stressed but I’m happy to report she has submitted the homework that is due tomorrow. </p>
<p>We should all be thankful for the helpful nature of Aggies…my friend has a daughter at UT that she is picking up this weekend to bring home. She is very lonely, dining alone everyday…it is really sad. I logged onto the UT thread here and see there is a whole thread about lonely kids…</p>
<p>Again, thanks for all the helpful, friendly Aggies.</p>
<p>If you have any more questions feel free to ask because all engineering students will probably be going through the same thing more or less and I’ve always kind of been pretty good with technical stuff.</p>
<p>I agree. The A&M students are amazingly nice and helpful. It was our joke during NSC that I couldn’t pull out my map without someone offering to help me. I wasn’t lost…just trying to learn my way…but everytime someone would stop and offer help!</p>
<p>On these boards TXAggie92 is so helpful and gstein and Xcellerator have been awesome too.</p>
