+# Problem 1
+Used functions/scripts:
+a. shape_simple_support.m, PlotSSS.m
+b. montecarlo.m
+
+[q versus maximum deflection](Plot1.png)
+
+# Problem 2
+Used functions/scripts:
+a-d: CDM.m, plotCDM_Part_2.m
+
+[q versus maximum deflection for various N](Plot2.png)
+
+e: The script plotCDM_Part_2.m calls the function CDM.m (documented in help file) to generate 
+deflection values for the given set of values of q, plots them against the q values
