COMPUTING MANUALS Fuzzy CubiCalc RTC, Version 2, HyperLogic Corporation Neural Network NeuroShell 2, Ward Systems, 1999 (no manual sent - rely on the 'Help') Genetic Algorithm Evolver 4.0 Professional Edition ASSESSMENT The course grade will comprise:
Marks may be scaled according to Faculty policy COMPUTING Instruction in each technique will be given in the computing lab. This will normally occupy about two of the three class hours. No previous experience is needed. Software packages to be used in the course are listed in the following table and are installed in the computing lab. PROGRAM
