This document provides instructions for a MATLAB assignment with two parts. Part I involves constructing Lagrange interpolants for a given function. Students are asked to create MATLAB function files for Lagrange interpolation and for defining a test function, as well as a script file to test the interpolation. Part II involves solving a system of linear ordinary differential equations and constructing the solution at discrete time points. Students are asked to create a function file to solve the ODE using eigenvalues and eigenvectors, and a script file to test it on a sample problem. Detailed hints are provided for both parts.
