Use function 'exec' to run scripts. Type 'return' after a 'pause'. Some of these scripts were used in the lectures for ENGR 2200 and CEE 6510. Chapters refer to the textbook (vol. 1 & vol. 2). For INSTRUCTIONS on using these scripts click here.

All scripts use functions presented in the books "Numerical and Statistical Methods with SCILAB for Science and Engineering - vol.1 and vol.2 ." [Click here to download functions].
Unzip the functions and place them in a folder, preferable within your SCILAB installation. In my computer, for example, the folder holding these functions is
c:\Program Files\Scilab-4.1.1\work
In order to select this directory as the current SCILAB working directory I have written a script, called 'scilabwork' that resides in directory c:\. The script consists of the single line:
chdir(c:\Program Files\Scilab-4.1.1\work)
To have direct access to the textbook functions I simply type the command:
exec('c:\scilabwork')
This command, therefore, appears at the beginning of each of the scripts that
can be downloaded from this page. If you have the functions in a different location (e.g., if you are using SCILAB at the USU College of Engineering PC Lab
[click here for instructions]), you will have to modify the scripts accordingly. Use
SCILAB's own SciPad editor, Windows Notepad, or PFE
[click here to download] to modify your scripts before running them.
Copy the scripts to directory c:\ and use the command 'exec' to run them. For example, to run the script entitled 'Matrices_Script.sce', use the SCILAB command:
--> exec('c:\Matrices_Script.sce)
