Course detail

Computer Science

FSI-1INAcad. year: 2009/2010

The course deals with selected of software modeling tools, which are often used in engineering practice. The variables, commands, data import/export, drawing, procedures and functions are presented and rules of program developing are demonstrated in Matlab language. Matlab capabilities are illustrated with examples of simple models of technical systems and technological processes.
