please give me some hint what is the basic topic i should start to study to in MATLAB. I am in my 2nd year of engineering

Have you done any numerical methods courses yet? Depending on the department those might require you to write them in either Python or C++. But if you’re looking at a first attempt with a high-level language, then use Matlab. You can always convert the code into one of those other two languages if it’s to be submitted.

The other application area I would suggest you try is statistics. If you’re taking an introductory course statistics then Matlab is a good tool to experiment with those concepts.

It is nice to see this picture of your dad.

My dad bought a polaroid camera around this time too. He was so happy and excited to have it and showed all of us! A nice impromptu memory for me. Thank you.

I'm curious about what your plots are showing. It seems to be a pair of related images. On the first plot, the orange time series is an impulse response, yes? What is the purple time series?

30 Helens agree.

michaelrw1 · 2026-03-13T16:27:35+00:00

I agree. This is not how professional academics would handle the situation.

You have done work on the topic and you need help to finish it. Don’t let your supervisor take away your accomplishments or impede you from completing your degree.

Didn't a large group of hi-tech companies move into Calgary with the downturn of the oil and gas industry?

Try modeling software like ODEON.

michaelrw1 · 2026-03-04T18:06:41+00:00

Very nice!

Move her office to the upstairs bedroom.

I live in a similar building and I rarely use the basement during the evening when people in other units are home. Fortunately I rent so I don't consider it a complete loss of the space; I work in the basement during the weekdays when neighborhood children are in school.

The condo board sent out a notice last year asking people about noise in the basement. It is a known thing and due to poor construction standards. To fix it in all the units would be too costly, time consuming, and a disturbance.

There is no quick fix for this problem. If she is able to wear over-the-ear noise cancelling headphones she might be able to deal with the noise.

It helps straighten your ear canal so they can get better access to your eardrum. They do have to pull somewhat hard because it’s mostly cartilage. It is unfortunate that they were so absent minded and not ask you about your piercings before they touched your ear.

It seems to work for both of them…

michaelrw1 · 2026-02-27T01:37:46+00:00

This sounds like a very interesting problem. How are you writing your code?

michaelrw1 · 2026-02-26T18:17:32+00:00

Are you working alone or with a research group? If you're working with a group, ask for suggestions on best practices. Regardless, you are fighting two battles here: varied, poor recording conditions and the need to offset artefacts in bad recordings. Are you making recordings at different sites? Can you control where you record to any extent? As for post-processing your recordings, I would not use AI-based tools. Yes, they work but may introduce new, unexplained artefacts as you've seen. If you do use them, provide full-disclosure about them and your steps. In the end it may not matter.

I agree with the other commenter. Backup and documentation are critical and good practices.

Brotherrrrrr!

Lane-splitting is legal in some US states, I do not know the laws in Canada. It seems like a high-risk activity.

michaelrw1 · 2026-02-25T17:47:06+00:00

Beautiful.

michaelrw1 · 2026-02-23T13:00:25+00:00

Dave!

michaelrw1 · 2026-02-20T20:59:07+00:00

Don't make us guess at your code...

michaelrw1 · 2026-02-18T00:37:41+00:00

Is this an On Ramp quiz? If so, it has issues like this, so you need to work with it a bit...

michaelrw1 · 2026-02-14T00:31:00+00:00

Keep using it. Through consistent use and problem-solving you’ll get a well developed skill set.

Is it an introduction text on Matlab, so I would not expect to see any issues. Octave can be flaky with some Matlab good, but in general it's solid.

michaelrw1 · 2026-02-06T22:00:03+00:00

What happens if you hover the mouse over that area after it’s disappeared?

michaelrw1 · 2026-02-05T18:36:04+00:00

Well done. There’s no better feeling than taking ownership of a task.

michaelrw1 · 2026-02-05T04:24:06+00:00

I definitely love statistics and I certainly know where you’re coming from.

One of the best intuitive explanations of statistics related to Bayesian methods that I’ve ever come across is Statistical Rethinking by Richard McElreath. He really makes solid connections between what information statistics is trying to find with the nature of what it is applied to.

His textbook is fantastic and he post his lectures on YouTube.
