MATLAB: Programming basics

This session aims to provide hands-on learning of MATLAB programming.

This session will introduce the basics of programming with Matlab software tool and take you through very basic exercises which enable the learners to understand the benefits of programming capabilities of MATLAB.

Programming in MATLAB is user-friendly, relatively easy to learn, to use the rich programming capability of MATLAB, able to use built-in MATLAB routine very effectively and allows you to make the programme as generic as possible.
