Programming with MATLAB
Check in begins at 8:45AM
Overview
MATLAB is a high-level language that includes mathematical functions for solving engineering and scientific problems. You can produce immediate results by interactively executing commands one at a time. However, MATLAB also provides features of traditional programming languages, including flow control, error handling, and object-oriented programming (OOP). Attend this seminar to learn more about programming capabilities in MATLAB and to learn how to be more productive working with MATLAB.
Topics covered will include:
- Basics of the MATLAB programming language
- Moving from scripts to functions
- Building robust, maintainable functions
- Tools for efficient program development
- Using and authoring objects in MATLAB
- The last 20-30 minutes will be focused on new tools for teaching with MATLAB.
Those attending the seminar will be expected to either have a rudimentary knowledge of MATLAB or have knowledge of other programming languages.
