COURSE DESCRIPTION: 

Overview of MATLAB capabilities and technical problem solving. Representation of data in MATLAB, basic commands to process and visualize data, fundamentals of programming in MATLAB, and an introduction to the Symbolic Math Toolbox and Simulink. Students are invited to bring in their own technical problems to solve during independent study portions of the class.

OBJECTIVES:

Upon completion of this class, students will be able to

1. Use MATLAB’s built in features to create data, read data from a file, and analyze data visually to solve real problems in math, science and engineering.

2. Write simple MATLAB scripts to automate processing steps, and use programming structures such as branches and  loops to solve more complex problems.

3. Continue their explorations of the MATLAB universe on their own.
