MATLAB Programming Essentials

Learn MATLAB, Data Analysis, Visualization, Simulink, and Real Projects from Zero to Advanced.

This course teaches MATLAB step by step, starting from basic commands and variables to advanced programming, data analysis, visualization, and Simulink modeling. You begin with the MATLAB interface, scripts, functions, and essential operations. Then you move into vectors, matrices, programming logic, loops, and function creation.

You will learn plotting, statistics, curve fitting, regression, and visualizing complex datasets. The course also includes Simulink basics so you can build simple models and understand block-based simulation. Throughout the course, ChatGPT is used as a learning assistant to compare concepts, solve problems, and create reusable code.

You will work on multiple real projects such as solving differential equations, Fourier transforms, clustering, and building a calculator. These projects help you apply MATLAB concepts to real-world engineering and scientific problems.

By the end of the course, you will be confident in writing MATLAB programs, analyzing data, creating visualizations, and building basic Simulink models.
