Course objectives
The aim of this course is to teach students to formalize simple tasks, convert them into program processible forms (algorithmization) and rescript them into the language of MATLAB application system, utilizing the basic graphic tools in the process.
The language of program system MATLAB is used in some courses offered by the faculty. Students will be trained for consequent utilization of this relatively powerful tool for task solving of economical analysis via consecutive familiarizing with the syntax and semantics of program system by means of simple problem solving.
At the end of this course, students should be able to:
- design an algorithm to solve a given simple problem;
- code an algorithm in the Matlab programming language;
- debug a program.
