Synopsis:

The goal is to make students familiar with basic mathematical and numerical tools provided by Matlab, a language and environment for mostly numerical calculations. Course participants will acquire basic skills in applying Maple to solving mathematical and engineering problems.

Topics:

Matlab interactive environment, Matlab toolboxes. Basics of the Matlab language; vector, matrix, structure, variable, function; loop, conditional execution, m-file. Numerical iterative algorithms for solving nonlinear equations and systems of linear equations. Approximation and interpolation. The least-squares method, minimization of functions of several variables. Numerical integration. Plots and animations. Symbolic operations. Partial Differential Equation Toolbox, Optimization Toolbox, Global Optimization Toolbox.

Course participants are expected to present one case study per student motivated by their research topic.
