Content
The MATLAB environment, data types, built-in functions and arithmetic expressions, MATLAB files (m-files, mat-files), import and export between MATLAB and other formats. How to write your own programs and to go from a problem to programming code. Fundamental programming structures (if, for och while), script files and functions. Writing your own functions and to write code structured in several subprograms, parameter passing, the algorithm concept. Error handling using try-catch.
Computations in MATLAB: linear equations systems, least squares fit, interpolation, roots of functions, ordinary differential equations, and integrals.
