Entry requirements

Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

Intended learning outcomes

The course aims to give

basic skills in using mathematical software for future courses where MATLAB is used
an increased understanding of linear algebra and geometry

After finishing the course the student should be able to

use built in MATLAB commands for mathematical computations and visualising computed results
divide complex computational problems into subproblems, and formulate and implement computer algorithms for solving these problems

Course content

The basics
MATLABs interface, variables, matrices, assignment, indexing with scalars and vectors, colon notation, static and dynamic memory allocation, basic arithmetics, elementwise operations and matrix operations, comformality, transpose, solving linear systems of equations
Visualisation and data processing
Visualising curves, surfaces and time dependent objects, printing and exporting graphics, commands for generating vectors and matrices, mathematical constants and functions, curve fitting, complex numbers, random numbers
Algorithms and programming
Dividing computational problems into subproblems, formulating algorithms, iteration and selection, programming in MATLAB, relational operators, boolean algebra, input and output, commenting programming code

Teaching and working methods

Lectures, exercises, assignments, tutorials and seminars.
