Course Description
In this Beginner MATLAB course, you’ll learn the basics of MATLAB. You’ll receive an overview of the software and programming language, along with the multiple ways MATLAB enables a programmer to accomplish the same task. This course will also cover MATLAB’s relative strengths, weaknesses, and overall utility as compared with other programming languages.
You’ll learn how debugging works within MATLAB, as well as you how to create and perform operations on MATLAB data structures. By the end of this course, you will understand data types, structure types, operations, scripting, debugging, and user-defined function implementation.
