ENES 206 MATLAB for Engineers

Welcome

ENES206 MATLAB for Engineers 1 credit

Introduction to MATLAb and prepare students for subsequent courses requiring computation with MATLAB in engineering. It covers basics of MATLAB including simple command variables, vector, matrix, plotting, solving equations, differentiation, integration, differential equations and fundamentals of programming in the MATLAB environment. As examples will be given in physics or engineering, students are strongly recommended to have taken a physics course. PREREQUISITE: MATH 182 with a grade of C or better.

One hours lecture, one hours laboratory each week.
