MATLAB Essentials (MathWorks)

MathWorks' MATLAB Essentials aims to teach you the fundamental MATLAB programming abilities required to process, analyze, and visualize data. You'll answer hard real-world questions like 'How does the size of an earthquake effect the power of a tsunami?' in this 4-week limited-access course. and 'How far does a blue whale swim on a daily basis?' By the end of the course, you'll be able to analyze your own data sets and wow your colleagues with word clouds, geographic plots, animations, and other visual effects. You'll also be prepared to take the MathWorks Certified MATLAB Associate exam, which will set you apart in the job market.

You'll start by experimenting with numeric data and vectors, which are the foundations of most MATLAB studies. Then you will investigate numeric and non-numeric tabular data. Tables are a popular data storage structure, and you'll learn how to use them, including two-dimensional tables. Following that, you'll learn about exploratory data analysis, where you'll be given the tools you need to import a range of data, analyze it, and visualize your findings. You'll learn how to develop and publish effective visualizations for 2D, 3D, geographic, text, and time-series data.

But what if you want to conduct the same analysis on a different dataset or execute a section of code depending on a condition? You'll utilize conditionals and loops to accomplish this! You'll learn about these programming techniques as well as the significance of code reuse. Finally, you'll finish the course by going into app design, creating a real MATLAB app to modify how users interact with blue whale tracking data.

This course lasts four weeks and requires four to seven hours of study every week. You'll learn by watching lecture videos and putting what you've learned into practice with auto-graded assignments, practice quizzes, interactive readings, and projects.
