LAB DESCRIPTION:
Matlab is one of the most widely used high-level computing languages; it provides users a friendly and interactive
environment for algorithm development, data visualisation, data analysis, and numeric computation. With its exten
libraries of mathematical and graphical routines, Matlab is widely used in areas such as signal and image processing
communications, control design, test and measurement, financial modelling and analysis, and computational biolog
This course provides a progressively gentle introduction to Matlab. It is designed to give students fluency in Matlab
including fundamentals of Matlab, programming, solving mathematic equations with Matlab, data visualisation etc.
Besides normal lecturing, this course also provides student computer based exercise, which ensures student unders
and master the key knowledge of Matlab.
COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES (CLOs)
After successful completion of this Lab session, students should be able to:
1. Become familiar with fundamental operations in Matlab for data conversion and tabular
representation,
2. applying control structures for advanced engineering appliucation and solving algebraic equations
using symbolic math techniques.
3. Applying MATLAB forgraphical data representation and differentiation and integration techniques.
