Course Description

The goal of this introductory course to MATLAB is to understand better computer software, to translate everyday problems into computer-language and to develop algorithms for civil engineering problems. The students will learn how to write, compile, and execute some programs in MATLAB. The students will also practice reading, understanding, modifying and debugging in these programming languages.
