MathWorks: Introduction to MATLAB - Problem Solving and Programming

James Cain, Manager - Experimental Learning Environments, OEIT

Jan/28 Tue 01:00PM-05:00PM 4-163

Enrollment: Register at link below
Limited to 85 participants

MATLAB is a high-level language that allows you to quickly perform computation and visualization through easy-to-use programming constructs. This hands-on lab presents the essentials you need to use MATLAB for your classes or research.

In this session, we import historical temperature data collected in the Northern Hemisphere from an external file, plot the data over time, then perform some analysis to view the data trend to determine if global warming is happening. You’ll learn how to write a MATLAB script and publish it to a format for sharing, such as HTML. You’ll also learn how to write your own MATLAB functions, use flow control, and create loops.

By the end of the session, you’ll have learned to create an application in MATLAB.

Key topics include:

-Navigating the MATLAB desktop

-Working with variables in MATLAB

-Calling MATLAB functions

-Importing/extracting data

-Visualizing data

-Conducting computational analysis

-Fitting data

-Automating analysis with scripts

-Publishing MATLAB programs

-Programming in MATLAB

Note: Attendees should bring a laptop to this hands-on lab.
