●​ MATLAB Interface: A tour of the Command Window, Workspace, Current


Folder, and Editor.
●​ Getting Help: How to use the built-in documentation and help command.
●​ Variables and Data Types: Understanding scalar, vector, and matrix variables.
Introduction to common data types like numeric, character, and logical
arrays.

2. Vector and Matrix Operations

●​ Creating and Manipulating Arrays: Techniques for creating one-dimensional


vectors and two-dimensional matrices, including using functions like zeros,
ones, and rand.
●​ Indexing and Subsetting: Accessing and modifying specific elements, rows,
or columns of an array using indexing.
●​ Mathematical Operations: Performing element-wise and matrix-specific
arithmetic operations.

3. Basic Programming and Scripts

●​ Scripts (.m files): Writing and running simple scripts to automate a sequence
of commands.
●​ Comments and Good Practices: The importance of commenting code and
adopting a clean coding style.

Day 2
5. Control Flow and Logic

●​ Conditional Statements: Using if, elseif, and else to make decisions in code.
●​ Loops: Implementing for and while loops for repetitive tasks. Emphasis on
vectorization as a more efficient alternative to loops when possible.

6. Functions

●​ Creating Functions: Defining custom functions with inputs and outputs to


encapsulate code.
●​ Function Scopes: Understanding the difference between local and global
variables.
●​ Calling Functions: How to call built-in and user-defined functions.

7. Debugging and Error Handling
