The course is also offered to the students of the fields other than those the course is directly associated with.
fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with
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.
Note: The seminar courses utilize the computer projection screen. Practical training is with MATLAB and R for UNIX.
Learning outcomes
After passing the course, the student will be able to solve practical exercises and problems with MATLAB and R, especially: to define several types of variables; to know basic variable operators; to understand elementary syntax of programming; to construct basic plots
