SPECIFIC COURSE INFORMATION
a. Course Description
The course is an introduction to the use of MATLAB and MATLAB programming in preparation for more
advanced use of the software in future mathematics and engineering courses. It tackles the environment of
MATLAB and its built-in functions, manipulating matrices, plotting in MATLAB, making user-defined
functions and using user-controlled inputs and outputs, using logical functions and selection structures,
constructing loops via repetition structures, manipulating arrays and using the Symbolic Math Toolbox of
MATLAB. Creation of graphical user interfaces is also discussed. Students will also be introduced to
Simulink.
b. Prerequisites CS100A (Fundamentals Of Programming And Algorithm)
Co-requisites None
c. Course Classification Required
(Required/elective/
selected elective)
SPECIFIC GOALS FOR THE COURSE
