Use MATLAB (data types, variables, basic mathematical and logical expressions, arrays and vectors, structures, file manipulation) to solve computation problems.
Apply the software development tool to create, test and debug programs.
Write programs using predefined functions and procedures, conditional statements, control structures, matrix computations, and graphing and plotting.
Design and write functions with parameters, and reuse function m-files.
Compose structured programs using symbolic algebra, equation solving, differentiation and integration, and numerical techniques.
Course Description An introduction to computing using MATLAB, a special-purpose language for writing moderate-size programs that solve problems involving the manipulation of numbers. This course is intend to assist students in learning the general concepts of computing and programming, help students understand the relation between computer programming and problem solving, and obtain a solid foundation in the use of MATLAB.
