Subject: Please Forward: 12.091 MATLAB Bootcamp


Hello,

EAPS has an IAP course to introduce students to the basics of MATLAB. There was a problem with pre-registration, so anyone who wants to take the course next week needs to email me to be added to the registration for the class. Would you please forward the information below to your undergrad and grad students in case they would find the class useful?
Thanks,
Vicki

New to MatLab or have limited experience? This class helps you make the transition from Excel to MATLAB and gets you started with the basics that you'll need to use MATLAB in a class. Course includes: getting MATLAB started on your computer, learning how to start programming, building skills, solving problems. It provides resources for future reference.

Students develop skills in:

  *   plotting and graphics
  *   calling matlab functions
  *   I/O dealing with input of data
  *   understanding  loops and control of flow
  *   writing scripts

Examples used in the class are motivated by typical applications in the Earth Sciences. Days 4 and 5 will involve working in groups on selected problems. Instructors interact with the groups and answer questions on an individual basis. Students present their code at the end of the class.


Before the first class, please visit this site to download and install MATLAB onto your personal computer/laptop: http://kb.mit.edu/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=7144438
