This is not a programming class, but I expect you to understand and use basic control structures such as for, while and if statements, to assign and access variables within arrays, and to define and call functions. Sample code will be provided. Here are some useful programming resources:
Getting started with Matlab:
- Official “Getting started with Matlab” guide (by Mathworks)
- Official “Matlab Onramp” interactive course (by Mathworks)
- A quick tutorial on Matlab, by Gowtham Bellala, U. Mich.
- Or, just do a search on “matlab tutorial,” and you will find many options.
