- How much programing skills do you need for this class?

This class will require you to write simple computer programs. We will use Matlab primarily, but you are free to use any other programing environment (including Excel). The level of programming skills needed is 'basic'. If you can do the following on your own (in whatever programing environment you choose, using help features if necessary), you are probably in good shape. Do feel free to check with the instructor.
Self test:
Generate an array of 1000 real/float random numbers between 1 and 10.
Plot the array.
Compute and plot a histogram (say bins are 0.1 wide) of the differences between 2 consecutive points of the array.
Sort it in ascending order. Compute its mean and standard deviation.
