ENES-271 Introduction to Matlab

This course is designed to introduce numerical methods to engineering students. Students will develop the skills to generate readable, compact, and verifiably correct MATLAB programs to obtain numerical solutions to a wide range of engineering models and to display the results with fully annotated graphics. Students will learn structured programming.
