Section 3 Software to LAFF-On

Unit 3.1 Activating MATLAB Online

MathWorks generously provides licenses and technical support for MATLAB Online for use in, and for the duration of, the course on the edX platform. Instructions on how to gain access to MATLAB Online for this course, please see this unit on the edX platform Link-here MATLAB nline is supported in Chrome (recommended for best experience), Firefox, and Safari.

Unit 3.2 MATLAB Basics

Below you find a few short videos that introduce you to \matlab. For a more comprehensive tutorial, you may want to visit MATLAB Tutorials at MathWorks and click "Launch Tutorial".

You need relatively little familiarity with MATLAB in order to learn what we want you to learn in this course. So, you could just skip these tutorials altogether, and come back to them if you find you want to know more about \matlab\ and its programming language (M-script).
