[QCL Workshop] Get Equipped with MATLAB (Level 1 – Coding+Computing)

# Getting Equipped with MATLAB (Level 1 – Coding+Computing)

Instructor: Bhaven Mistry (Assistant Director of the QCL)

## Summary

Want to learn to program, but don’t know where to start or what to install? MATLAB is a numerical computing language and environment that is surprisingly easy to use. Typically used by engineers and scientists, you can think of it as a very powerful, customizable calculator. But, interestingly, it’s this very characteristic that makes MATLAB an ideal language for programming beginners, even if you’re not mathematically inclined.

In this workshop, we will step you through the basics of programming using the MATLAB coding environment. We will start by getting familiar with the software, learning the basics of variable assignment and manipulation, writing our own functions, and exploring some applications. If you’re completely new to programming, learning the fundamentals with MATLAB first is a great way to springboard into other languages. Alternatively, if you have some experience with programming, but have always wanted to learn what MATLAB is used for, this could be a good way to get your feet wet.

### Pre-requisites:

Internet Use: Introductory level (search, log-in, navigation of websites, etc.)

Software: All the lab computers have MATLAB installed.
