MATLAB resources

Matlab Primer (PDF) This will help you get started using MATLAB.

PPLANE7 (courtesy John Polking) This is a sophisticated tool for generating 2-D phase diagrams which can identify fixed points and plot trajectories.
It has a user-friendly interface, but cannot be easily customized. You'll need two files: pplane7.m and dfield7.m You only need to run pplane7. There is also a stand alone version (google pplane to find it).
