Course description LECTURE

Matlab environment, toolboxes, Simulink. Presentation of the Matlab ability in
computing and graphics. Working with the command window. Variables, operators and
different data structures. Build-in functions. Graphical presentation of data sets. 2D and
3D graphics in depth. Graphics objects and their hierarchy. Properties of graphics objects.
Introduction to programming. Program algorithm. Program structure and modules. Data
sharing and transfer. Writing m-files: scripts and functions. Writing program, which reads
data, makes computations according to a certain algorithm and presents the results in a
graphical form. Program optimisation. Profiler, Debugger. Algorithm vectorisation.
Memory preallocation for arrays. Writing user-friendly programs. Structure of a program
with GUI. Callback functions. "Uicontrol", "uimenu" and "uicontextmenu" commands.
Writing programs with GUI. Properties of GUI commands. Styles of "uicontrols". Linear
algebra and polynomials. Interpolation and approximation of functions. Solvers of
ordinary differential equations (ODE), Control System Toolbox. Signal Processing
Toolbox.
