Matlab course how to#

[ Note to OCW Users: MIT OpenCourseWare does not provide student access or discounts for The students need to have access to MATLAB outside of class hours. If no other solution is possible, a USB “stick” can easily hold the student’s files. The students should have a way to access their files whenever they start working. Which version matters little as the course will be using very basic functionality which hardly changes between versions. Students need to have access to a computer with MATLAB installed.

How to Take/Teach this Course Access to MATLAB At the end of the course, students should be able to use MATLAB in their own work, and be prepared to deepen their MATLAB programming skills and tackle other languages for computing, such as Java, C++, or Python. Students are expected to spend about 4 hours per week on homework. Variables, arrays, conditional statements, loops, functions, and plots are covered in a project-based style where much of the learning happens away from the classroom. That said, as I taught the course at MIT, it was not a big problem. The down-side to this approach is that it is somewhat based on the idea that people are already excited about mathematics, or can be excited about it. The idea is that by thinking about mathematical problems, students are prodded into learning MATLAB for the purpose of solving the problem at hand. In that course I strived to change the usual pattern of teaching/learning MATLAB from a programming view point to a mathematical one. This course site is the result of several iterations of an introductory course I have given at MIT, the last of which was called DR. Only the very basics of programming in MATLAB will be covered, with the goal of having students become comfortable enough to continue learning MATLAB and other programming languages on their own. It is intended to assist undergraduates in learning the basics of programming in general and programming MATLAB® in particular. There are no formal prerequisites for this course. Recitations: 1 session / week, 1.5 hours / session Prerequisites Lectures: 1 session / week, 2 hours / session
