• For class on 1/22:
  
  When you access MATLAB, use the edit function that we wrote in class to try the following:
  
  1. Based on this function, write a MATLAB code that finds a word in the sentence "Mathematical methods for physical and life sciences is the most challenging course I took at University of Florida" that is closest to the word "biology" in the sense of edit distance. Spaces are interpreted as word breaks.
   
• A new section for Downloads is up where I will post the m files of the functions that we wrote in class.
   
• Things we will cover next week (1/15)
  
  1: create M-file to compute Hamming distance between two words of same length;
  
  2: discuss graphs/digraphs, adjacency matrix; create M-file that would compute shortest distance from any node to any other node;
  
  3: create M-file to compute Edit distance between two words of arbitrary length.

• Edit String Function
• Hamming Distance
• Adjacency Matrix - distance between two nodes
