like FORTRAN, C, and C++, but also adds two essential capabilities for
modern data analysis: interactivity and graphics display. The class is
intended for beginning matlab users and covers performing calculations at
the command line, creating variables, working with matrices and matlab
data types, creating script files, and basic 2D and 3D graphing. This is
a hands-on class that includes many sample excercise.
Prerequisites: Attendees should have a familiarity with basic computer
