ECTS: 6

Course objectives

The main objective of this course is mastering the fundamentals of the MATLAB software package. Students will first be introduced to the MATLAB environment and its basic functions so as to familiarize themselves with the possibilities of this software, application of mathematical operations, matrix operations, polynomials and other mathematical structures. They will also learn how to plot graphs, master the fundamentals of programming, salvation of systems of equations and system modeling. In addition, they will master the formation of basic Simulink models, and learn how to launch and select simulation steps.

Course outcomes

By completing this course, students will learn to implement the MATLAB software package in the design of numerical algorithms and basic computational methods in mechanics, as well as to solve practical problems through software implementation in MATLAB. They will be introduced to the MATLAB environment and its basic functions. Students will master the application of mathematical operations, matrix operations, polynomials and other mathematical structures, learn how to plot graphs, and master the fundamentals of programming and system modeling. In addition, they will acquire the necessary knowledge of Simulink, such as formation of Simulink models of automated processes.
