Course Description

In this course, we will learn a computer programming language called MATLAB, which is one of the most popular ones among scientists and engineers. MATLAB is also easy to learn and very fun to play with. In three weeks, we will cover the basics of programming. By the end of the summer school, you will have reached a stage where you will be able to further improve your MATLAB skills on your own.

This course will adopt an interactive approach to learning. We will have the classes in a computer lab, write codes together, share and discuss our codes with each other, and most importantly have fun together. At the end of each class, we will have small assignments/projects which you will do on your own. These will be used to assess your performance in the course.

Some of the topics we will cover:

• Variables
• Conditional statements (if/else)
• Loops (for/while)
• Plotting (2D and 3D graphs)
