Module 2: Introduction to Programming

Matlab is an interactive computing environment which provides immediate feedback when a syntax error is detected. These errors refer to any invalid use of a MATLAB command, so we begin by examining a variety of valid MATLAB commands. This module covers Chapter 2, 2.1, 2.2 (especially pp. 30-32) to introduce the environment for MATLAB and the commands for input and output.

Goals of this module:

1. Understanding the MATLAB environment and its 3 windows
   • Command Window
   • Graphics Window
   • Edit Window
2. and the MATLAB workspace which provides space for variables.
3. Learning to use MATLAB commands for user input and output
