Document Summary

Matlab is basically just a really complicated program that functions as an extremely powerful calculator. As such, it can perform tasks than most calculators cannot, usually in fractions of a second. However, like all computer programs, matlab is incredibly stupid and is only ever as useful as your coding capability allows it to be. Never underestimate how irritatingly picky matlab can be about small sections of code. The programmers designed some functions to be flexible with input values, but for the (cid:373)ost pa(cid:396)t the(cid:455) did(cid:374)(cid:859)t (cid:271)othe(cid:396) (cid:373)aki(cid:374)g it use(cid:396)-friendly. It is not necessary to actually purchase the matlab software to complete this course, although it is probably pretty useful; i do not personally own the software. Many, not all, computers in the library do have it. Additionally, some computer geeks have set up a virtual desktop call citrix that allows you to access your library desktop from your laptop.
