Course objectives
The aim of the course is to make sense of basic philosophy of MATLAB and R and the syntax of its programming language; knowledge in basic operators and commands, writing procedures (script and function M-files), graphics (1D and 2D plots), commands related to some more advanced topics from matrix and polynomial algebra.
After passing the course, the student will be able to solve practical exercises and problems with MATLAB and R.
Note: The seminar courses utilize the computer projection screen. Practical training is with MATLAB and R for UNIX.
