Mini Course: MATLAB
Mini Course: MATLAB will focus on the programming language of MATLAB.
MATLAB is a very useful skill for scientists to have. In particular, it is a fantastic prototyping language and plotting tool. The mathematics library is extremely well furnished and the documentation makes it a breeze to learn how to use the functions.
Target audience
This course is suitable for anyone, previous exposure to any programming language is a plus.
