IS&T RCS Tutorial - Introduction to MATLAB, Part One (Hands-on)

MATLAB is an interpreted programming language. It was originally developed for linear algebra and engineering problems, but now has wide applicability and toolboxes for areas ranging from medicine, economics, and machine learning. This tutorial presents an introduction via solving hands-on example problems; this motivates the syntax/tools in a “why” versus “what” way. Part One introduces participants to the user-interface and basic features including operators, loops, and conditionals. Please also register for Part Two. No prior programming experience in any language is required to attend this course.
