After a day of playing with MATLAB's scoping characteristics, I was able to implement the PD controller in code (part 1a and 1b of the assignment). You can see that I was able to calculate an optimal pair of Kp/Kd coefficients (10/2) using my nifty Mathematica eigenvalue analysis. Here is the code, and here are the plots for Proportional and Proportional-Deriv control:
