Introduction to MATLAB Programming
MIT OpenCourseWare offers this introductory course built for undergraduates with no prior programming background. Lessons cover MATLAB fundamentals including variables, arrays, matrix operations, plotting, control flow, functions, and basic file input and output, alongside general programming concepts like debugging and algorithm design. The course includes lecture notes, problem sets with solutions, and programming assignments that build from simple scripts to more structured programs. Materials are organized session by session, letting a self-directed learner work through exercises at their own pace. As with other MIT OCW offerings, there is no instructor interaction or official certificate, but all course materials are freely downloadable under a Creative Commons license. It suits anyone who wants a grounded, exercise-driven start in MATLAB rather than a quick syntax overview.
