Important matlab commands: linspace, meshgrid, pcolor, surf, contour, surfc, contourf, quiver, mesh, load, subplot, pcolor, shading.

Skim the Matlab documentation for linspace, meshgrid, and pcolor. Create a 2D mesh from −π to π with 30 points in both the x and y directions. Then for each position in the mesh let z = cos(x) sin(y). Use pcolor, axis equal, and axis tight to generate the figure on the left. But don't you hate those ugly black lines? You can get rid of them with the shading command. Use subplot and the shading command to generate the figure on the right

Create a 2D mesh from −π to π with 20 points in both the x and y directions, let z = cos(x) sin(y) pointwise, and then recreate this figure using the surf and colorbar commands.

Create a 2D mesh from −10 to 10 with 100 points in both the x and y directions, let and z = 5 sin(r)/r. Then recreate Figure 4 using the surf and shading commands.

Create a 2D mesh from −π to π with 100 points in both the x and y directions and then recreate Figure 5, using the functions z = cos(x/2) cos(y/2), z = sin(x) cos(y/2), z = cos(x/2) sin(y), and z = sin(x) sin(y).

Enter the following code into a script file, save the figure produced as a '.jpg' or '.png' image, and include it with your project. What does the image produce? What is the role of the 'C' variable?

[phi,theta] = meshgrid(linspace(0,2*pi,100));
X=(cos(phi) + 3) .* cos(theta);
Y=(cos(phi) + 3) .* sin(theta);
Z=sin(phi);
C=sin(3*theta);
surf(X,Y,Z,C)
shading interp
