MATLAB, a fourth-generation language, is one of the most popular numerical computing environments. Developed and owned by MathWorks, it includes functionality such as manipulation of matrices, analysis of data using plotting, and development of algorithms, models, and applications. In this course, you will be introduced to the functionality of MATLAB in addition to how to work with variables, vectors, and matrices; how to implement programming functionality such as flow control; and how to create functions. The course will cover how to analyze data with plots, including 3-D and image plots, and introduce you to importing and exporting data files, including Excel files. It will introduce you to building user interfaces with MATLAB, manipulating equations and polynomials, and calculating basic statistics using MATLAB. Finally, you will learn about some of the toolsets that can be used with MATLAB to provide built-in functionality in relation to statistics and symbolic math expressions.
