It is my great pleasure to welcome you to this short course in MATLAB. MATLAB is a high-level language and interactive environment for numerical computation, visualization, and programming. Using MATLAB, you can analyze data, develop algorithms, and create models and applications. The language, tools, and built-in math functions enable you to explore multiple approaches and reach a solution faster than with spreadsheets or traditional programming languages, such as C/C++ or Java™.

This is a flexible short course that introduces you to the functions of MATLAB that are useful in the engineering context.
