Project 5

Do the following:

• Before the tutorial, download and run through the tutorial script (tutorial 11).
• Before the tutorial, look through the problem listed below, sketch out your solution approach, and get started writing your code. Complete part 1 and get as far as you can on the other parts so that we can help you out with any problems or questions!
• In class next Thursday 4/13 turn in your program and output. Don't forget to use the Matlab "publish" command!

The Problem:

In this problem you are asked to solve a time dependent partial differential equation. Ordinarily such problems are very challenging, but if you have a fast computer it is remarkably easy to solve it using a Monte Carlo based technique called Brownian Dynamics. This technique is demonstrated in the tutorial for this week, and as you can make a "movie" of the dynamics of the process, it is a lot of fun too! A detailed description of the problem is given in the file project5.pdf
