ON:2019-05-17CATEGORY:Library Classes & Training

Monday, 27th May 2019 3pm-5pm

Room 302, Lecture Hall, Library

SpeakerDr. Loren Shure


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

Those attending the seminar will be expected to either have a rudimentary knowledge of MATLAB or have knowledge of other programming languages.
