Course Introduction- MATLAB Video Lecture | MATLAB Programming for Numerical Computation - Software Development

hello and welcome to this course on matlab
programming for numerical computations
my name is doctor niket kaisare iam from department
of chemical engineering at iit madras
this course primarily focuses on using matlabs
for numerical programming
basically for numerical programming that is
of interest to engineers
the learning objectives for this course are
listed over here primarily this is a matlab
programming course we are going to start of
with basics of matlab programming
so we are going to use this course to understand
the numerical methods in context of how we
are going to use them in matlab
and we are then going to use matlab to solve
some of these computation problems
about matlab matlab is a high level programming
language is widely use for computation analysis
and controls signal processing communications
and other fields
matlab is combination of the words matrix
and laboratory
the link for matlab website is given over
here it is called mathworks dot com
matlab is 1 of the more popular computational
software commercial computational software
out there
what are the prerequesites for this course
since this course is uh an introductory course
on matlab programming there arent too many
prerequisites
we will basically assume some basics of linear
algebra and calculus that is usually covered
in your first year under graduate
besides that are no other prerequisities for
this course
however some of the other things which are
good to have would be some some background
or some knowledge of computational or numerical
techniques would be useful
some prior background in programming will
be useful but again in this course we are
not going to make any assumptions with respect
to prior background in programming
the software that will be used
in this course is primarily matlab again the
website for matlab is given over here if matlab
is not available in your college you can ah
alternatively use scilab
scilab is an open source software that is
somewhat similar to matlab
most of the things that we are going to cover
in this course are also available in scilab
and if matlab is not available to you uh i
highly recommend downloading the free software
scilab and trying out the examples ah using
scilab
there are some minor differences between matlab
and scilab but the primary use of scilab is
similar to matlab
assignment problems will be set using matlabs
1 course course work website the web link
for the website will be given to you in the
due time
we will use this website in order to have
assignment problems given to registered student
on this course
the book that i highly recommend ah for this
course is the book by professor laurene fausett
called numerical methods using matlab its
a book that we are primarily going to follow
in this course
other recommended text books ah are the text
books on numerical methods by professor chapra
chapra and professor canale and the numerical
methods for chemical engineering text book
by professor skgupta
this course is general course general purpose
course for a people with engineering and science
background so we are going to take up examples
which are general in nature our related course
to this course is the computational techniques
course where i have covered theoritical aspects
of numerical methods that we are going to
cover in this matlab programming course
however we are not going to use ah any of
the theoritical aspects of this computational
methods we are primarily going to study how
to implement this computational methods in
matlab
with is i come to the end of this introduction
i hope you will follow this course in order
to learn matlab programming
thank you and see you in module 1 bye
