Prel. scheduled hours: 16
Rec. self-study hours: 37

  Area of Education: Technology

Subject area: Electrical Engineering/Computer Engineering

  Advancement level (G1, G2, A): G1

Aim:
The course intends to give basic practical knowledge about the programming language Matlab, which is used for technical computations. The course can both be seen as a preparation to a large number of courses where Matlab is used, and as a possibility to learn a powerful engineering language. After completing this course, the student is expected to be able to:
  • Use Matlab as a calculator both for scalars and matrices. Use elementary functions and define variables.
  • Numerically solve linear equation systems.
  • Construct simple scripts and functions.
  • Use control structures (if-clauses, for- and while-loops) in simple examples.
  • Graphically present results of computations.
  • Explain the advantages of documenting and commenting code.
  • Read and assess code for simple scripts and functions, written by others.
  • Use the help system to learn new functions.


Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
Linear algebra.

Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

Organisation:
The course consists of lectures and computer exercises.

Course contents:
  • Interactive computations
  • Programming
  • Graphics
  • Examples of applications
