In this course, we will rehearse the basics of MATLAB and introduce many new elementary concepts. The basics of programming commands and control flows are examined. The understanding of MATLAB is deepened with polynomials, graphing of plots and random numbers. Some applications of calculus and cryptography are also introduced. The students will also participate in a group work to produce and teach to others a practical work of their chosen topic.
