Introduction to programming in Matlab
The course will give basic skills in reading, processing and displaying data using Matlab, but also use Matlab as an example language for generic programming skills. The course covers concepts such as data types, loops and conditional statements, functions and object oriented programming. It will also give an introduction to coding best practices and how to efficiently structure and debug code.
Lectures 16h, Computer labs 16h, Own study 24h, Programming assignment 16h, Code review 4h, Presentations 4h
