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.
These lessons will cover how functions work in MATLAB. You will learn how to define functions and their basic requirements for a function, as well as how to name and call a function once it is written. These lessons will show you how functions operate within different contexts. Then you’ll be introduced to function inputs and outputs and what you can do with them.
