Computational Science and Engineering Using MATLAB GUI | Cornell University

Explore the practical applications of computational science and engineering with a focus on MATLAB GUI development. Suitable for students with programming experience.

Introduction

Programming and problem solving using MATLAB. Emphasizes the systematic development of algorithms and programs. Topics include iteration, functions, arrays, and MATLAB graphics. Assignments are designed to build an appreciation for complexity, dimension, fuzzy data, inexact arithmetic, randomness, simulation, and the role of approximation.

Highlights

• Every assignment highlights important aspects of computational science and engineering
• Builds appreciation for the interplay between math and computing
• Involves the design of a graphical user interface (GUI)

Recommendation

This course is suitable for students with some previous programming experience and a typical calculus background. It provides an enriched learning experience compared to a standard introductory MATLAB course, with a focus on GUI development and the practical applications of computational science and engineering.
