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.

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

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.
