• Semester 2, position 5

The purpose of this course is to teach fundamental programming concepts and skills needed for basic problem solving, all using MATLAB as a tool. MATLAB is a powerful software package that has built-in functions to accomplish a diverse range of tasks, from mathematical operations to three-dimensional imaging. Additionally, MATLAB has a complete set of programming constructs that allows users to customize programs to their own specifications. Here, we give students introduction in both: the programming concepts and the efficient built-in functions of MATLAB.

After completing the course, students are able to: use data structures, write programs, read and write files, plot two-dimensional and three-dimensional graphics, perform symbolic calculations and calculation of derivatives, integrals and solving systems of linear and differential equations in MATLAB.

Introduction to MATLAB (Getting into MATLAB, The MATLAB Desktop Environment, Variables and Assignment Statements, Numerical Expressions, Characters and Encoding, Relational Expressions) Vectors and Matrices (Vectors and Matrices, Vectors and Matrices as Function Arguments, Scalar and Array Operations on Vectors and Matrices, Matrix Multiplication, Logical Vectors, Applications: The diff and meshgrid Functions) Introduction to MATLAB programming (Algorithms, MATLABS scripts, Input and Output, Scripts with Input and Output, Scripts to Produce and Customize Simple Plots, Introduction to File Input/Output (Load and Save), User-Defined Functions That Return a Single Value, Commands and Functions) Selection statements (The if Statement, The if-else Statement, Nested if-else Statements1, The switch Statement, The menu Function , The “is” Functions in MATLAB) Loop statements and Vectorizing Code Matlab Programs (More Types of User-Defined Functions, MATLAB Program Organization, Application: Menu-Driven Modular Program, Variable Scope, Debugging Techniques) String Manipulation Data Structures Advanced File Input and Output Advanced Plotting Techniques 2D and 3D
