Aims

The first step towards mastering MATLAB is the knowledge of the MATLAB working enviroment. Further step consists in effective usage of many MATLAB functions "in a regime of a clever calculator". The main emphasis will be placed on the programming in MATLAB. It is also important to learn how to design user frendly applications and how to employ powerfull MATLAB graphics instruments. The course is based on practical exercises on computers. The development of individual semester assignements constitutes an important experience enabling to verify how the subject matter was managed.
