Laboratories:
Do the following labs in groups of at most 4.

The lab report:
1. Must be typed and submitted as a .pdf or open source file format.
2. Must include the names of the members of the group.
3. ALL plots (not only the "On Your Own") must be included in the report with a caption including the command issued to obtain the plot.
4. Include ALL exercise (not only the "On Your Own") question followed by the answer.
