Learning Outcomes

This course gives students a working knowledge of using Matlab software for solving computational science and engineering problems. This course requires basic familiarity with Matlab and programming, it is not a basic course. After completing the course the student - knows the Matlab developement environment and what tools are available - knows what kinds of problems can be solved in Matlab - is familiar with advanced features of Matlab - can write reasonably complex scripts and functions - can make a grarphical user interface - can make use of the object oriented features of Matlab
