Learn to Program: MATLAB

MATLAB is an incredibly powerful programming environment with a rich set of analysis toolkits. But what if you're just getting started - with MATLAB and, more generally, with programming?

Nothing beats a hands-on, face-to-face training session to get you past the inevitable syntax errors!

So join us for this live coding workshop where we write programs that produce results, using the researcher-focused training modules from the highly regarded Software Carpentry Foundation.

You'll learn:

• Introduction to the MATLAB interface for programming
• Basic syntax and data types in MATLAB
• How to load external data into MATLAB
• Creating functions (FUNCTIONS)
• Repeating actions and analysing multiple data sets (LOOPS)
• Making choices (IF STATEMENTS – CONDITIONALS)
• Ways to visualise data in MATLAB

Prerequisites:

In order to participate, attendees must have a licensed copy of MATLAB installed on their computer. Speak to your local university IT or Research Office for assistance in obtaining a license and installing the software.

No prior experience with programming needed to attend this course.

We strongly recommend attending the Start Coding without Hesitation: Programming Languages Showdown and Thinking like a computer: The Fundamentals of Programming webinars. Recordings of previously delivered webinars can be found here.
