Learn MATLAB: A problem-solving approach 

This course is designed for those who wish to learn MATLAB. The course will introduce you to the MATLAB programming environment while also teaching you to write codes efficiently.

Prerequisites: Fundamental knowledge of programming (especially C) will be helpful to understand the lectures.  Not mandatory.

How to Proceed: The lectures proceed with a problem-solving approach. First, try to understand the problem given and think how it can be solved. Then look at the lecture video for the code and explanation. The lectures will discuss relevant syntax and associated techniques necessary to solve such a problem. Once you are done, try to solve the exercise problems. This will solidify your programming skills. Once you complete all the weekly assignments, try out the quizzes. 

Course Outline

Week - 01

• Introduction to the MATLAB programming environment

• Data types in MATLAB: Homogeneous and heterogeneous data types

• Indexing in MATLAB: Linear index vs Subscripts

• Functions: Built-in functions, User-defined functions

• MATLAB documentation

Once you are confident about your programming skills, try solving more problems in Cody. It will help you hone your skills.

Try to solve the problems by yourself first. If you cannot, only then look at the solutions given. This will improve your skills and critical thinking.
