(FALL 2009)

A prerequisite course in the Specialized Studies Program in DSP Systems Engineering.
This course presents engineering and scientific problem solving techniques used for mathematical computations, algorithm development, modeling and simulation, data analysis, scientific and engineering graphics, and application development. MATLAB utilizes various toolboxes such as symbolic math, signal processing, control systems, MATLAB C math library, and MATLAB compiler to facilitate the solving of many technical computing problems. Topics include: Introduction to MATLAB; engineering and scientific computations, numerical techniques for linear equations, overview of the Symbolic math toolbox, and application development. NOTE: MATLAB and Simulink student version and add-on products available at www.mathworks.com/academia. See enrollment confirmation for login information.
