CME 292: Advanced MATLAB for Scientific Computing

Course Description

Short course running first four weeks of the quarter (8 lectures) with interactive lectures and a mini project. Students will be introduced to advanced MATLAB features, syntaxes, and toolboxes not traditionally found in introductory courses. Material will be reinforced with in-class examples and demos involving topics from scientific computing. Students will be practicing the knowledge learned through a mini course project, which will be based on either the suggested topics or a topic of their own choice. MATLAB topics to be covered will be drawn from: advanced graphics and animation, MATLAB tools, data management, code optimization, object-oriented programming, and a variety of toolboxes, including optimization, statistical and machine learning, deep learning, parallel computing, and symbolic math. CME 192 (Introduction to MATLAB) or equivalent programming background is recommended prior to taking this course.
