Learn to Program: MATLAB at UOA Online

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 live, hands-on 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.

Please note: this training will be run over two days:

• Day 1: June 30, 2021, 1.30pm-4.30pm
• Day 2: July 1, 2021, 1.30pm-4.30pm

You’ll learn:

• 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

Prerequisites

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.
