MATLAB

Description
The MATLAB platform is optimized for solving engineering and scientific problems. The
matrix-based MATLAB language is the world's most natural way to express computational
mathematics. Built-in graphics make it easy to visualize and gain insights from data. A vast
library of prebuilt toolboxes lets you get started right away with algorithms essential to your
domain. The desktop environment invites experimentation, exploration, and discovery. These
MATLAB tools and capabilities are all rigorously tested and designed to work together.

Expectation and goals

 The goal of this course is to introduce students to the fundamental concepts of Scientific
Programming using Matlab and we will introduce the necessary mathematical concepts.
 The course will cover the syntax and semantics of Matlab including data types, control
structures, comments, variables, functions, and other abstraction mechanisms.
 Once you complete the numerical part you can learn details idea of image processing.

Prerequisites

There are no specific prerequisites for participating in MATLAB training.
