Course Description
Since 2007, RWTH Aachen University has had a
MATLAB campus license
that can be used by all students and university staff. This software enables the solution of many mathematical and technical problems and is also used in many industrial sectors. For example, MATLAB is used for controller design, simulation of dynamic systems, statistical calculations and image processing.
This introductory course offers the opportunity to get to know MATLAB and provides an easier introduction to later MATLAB projects in your studies or professional life.
