Full Curriculum

Course Syllabus

4 comprehensive modules — from MATLAB basics and matrix operations to signal processing, GUI design, and external device interfacing.

Module 1: Introduction to MATLAB

Discover MATLAB — the Matrix Laboratory. Learn how to use MATLAB as a powerful scientific calculator, understand its core windows (Command, Workspace, Editor, Figure), work with variables and arrays, write script files with flow control and loops, define functions, and create beautiful 2D plots and subplots.

7 LessonsArraysVariablesScriptsFunctions2D Plots
01
MATLAB as a Scientific CalculatorIntroduction to MATLAB's Command Window — arithmetic operations, precedence rules, built-in constants (pi, e, inf, NaN), and mathematical functions (sin, cos, sqrt, exp, log). Using MATLAB as the ultimate scientific calculator for instant numerical results.
02
Standard MATLAB WindowsThe MATLAB desktop environment — Command Window, Workspace Browser, Current Directory, Editor/Debugger, and Figure windows. Understanding how each panel contributes to an efficient scientific workflow and how to customize the layout.
03
Operations with VariablesNaming variables (MATLAB naming rules and conventions), checking variable existence using exist() and whos, clearing variables (clear, clc), and performing arithmetic, relational, and logical operations on scalar and array variables.
04
Arrays — Vectors & MatricesCreating row and column vectors, 2D matrices, and multi-dimensional arrays. Indexing techniques (linear, row-column, logical), size and length functions, element-wise vs. matrix operations (multiplication, division, power), and useful array functions (zeros, ones, eye, linspace, reshape).
05
Writing Script FilesCreating .m script files in the MATLAB Editor — logical variables and operators, relational comparisons, flow control (if/elseif/else/end, switch/case), and loop constructs (for loops, while loops, break, continue) for building reusable computational programs.
06
Writing FunctionsDefining custom MATLAB functions — input and output arguments, local vs. global scope, function visibility and the MATLAB path, and creating startup.m for environment initialization. Understanding when to use scripts versus functions for modular, reusable code.
07
Simple Graphics — 2D Plots & SubplotsCreating publication-quality 2D plots using plot(), xlabel(), ylabel(), title(), legend(), and grid(). Controlling line styles, colors, and markers. Using figure() for multiple figure windows and subplot() to arrange multiple charts in a single figure for comparative analysis.

Module 2: Data & Data Flow in MATLAB

Master MATLAB's rich set of data types and learn how to move data in and out of MATLAB efficiently. Work with matrices, strings, cell arrays, and structures; read and write text, binary, and mixed files; and communicate with real-world external hardware through serial, parallel, sound, and video ports.

3 LessonsData TypesFile I/OCell ArraysStructuresSerial Port
01
Data Types in MATLABMATLAB's core data types — numeric matrices (double, single, integer), strings and character arrays, cell arrays (heterogeneous containers), and structures (field-based records). Creating, accessing elements (indexing, fieldnames), and manipulating each data type with practical examples from engineering and scientific datasets.
02
File Input & OutputReading and writing data in multiple formats — MATLAB native files (load/save .mat), plain text files (csvread, textscan, fprintf, dlmread, dlmwrite), binary files (fopen, fread, fwrite, fseek, fclose), and mixed text-binary files for instrument data logs and scientific measurement archives.
03
Communication with External DevicesInterfacing MATLAB with the real world — serial port communication (instrhwinfo, serial, fopen, fscanf, fwrite) for microcontroller and sensor data; parallel port I/O; sound card access (sound, wavread, wavwrite) for audio acquisition; and video port interfacing for image capture and processing pipelines.

Module 3: Function Minimization & Parameter Search

Learn the core of scientific data analysis — fitting mathematical models to real experimental data using polynomial and arbitrary function fitting, evaluating goodness of fit, bounding parameters, and handling data windowing. The essential toolkit for any engineer or researcher working with measured data.

3 LessonsPolynomial FitCurve FittingError BoundsChi-squaredData Windowing
01
Polynomial Fit1D polynomial curve fitting using polyfit() and polyval() — choosing the right polynomial degree, applying Gaussian and Hanning data windowing to reduce edge artifacts, and computing error bounds to assess uncertainty in the fitted model parameters. 2D surface fitting for gridded experimental data.
02
Arbitrary Function FitFitting any user-defined mathematical function to experimental data using fminsearch() and lsqcurvefit() — defining the error (objective) function, choosing initial parameter guesses, applying parameter constraints, and fixing known parameters to reduce the dimensionality of the optimization problem.
03
Goodness of FitEvaluating the quality of a fitted model — computing R² (coefficient of determination) and reduced chi-squared (χ²/ν) statistics to distinguish good fits from poor ones, estimating standard errors of fitted parameters, and interpreting residuals to detect systematic model errors or outliers in the data.

Module 4: Handle Graphics & User Interface Design

Transform your MATLAB programs into professional, interactive GUI applications. Master pre-defined dialog boxes, the Handle Graphics object model, programmatic GUI creation using uimenu and uicontrol, interactive graphics callbacks, and the design patterns behind large, maintainable MATLAB applications.

3 LessonsHandle GraphicsuicontroluimenuCallbacksDialog Boxes
01
Pre-defined Dialog BoxesMATLAB's built-in GUI dialog functions — inputdlg() for user data entry, questdlg() for confirmation prompts, msgbox() and errordlg() for messages, uigetfile() and uiputfile() for file browser dialogs, and uigetdir() for directory selection — enabling quick, professional user interaction without writing custom GUIs from scratch.
02
Handle Graphics Object ModelMATLAB's Handle Graphics system — the figure, axes, line, text, image, patch, and surface objects; the parent/child hierarchy; getting and setting object properties with get() and set(); and dynamically modifying plots at runtime (changing colors, line widths, marker types, axis limits) using handles for interactive data exploration.
03
Menu-Driven GUI ProgramsBuilding complete interactive MATLAB applications — creating custom menu bars and context menus with uimenu(); adding pushbuttons, sliders, checkboxes, radio buttons, list boxes, and text fields with uicontrol(); writing callback functions for event handling; designing interactive graphics with ginput() and datacursormode; and planning the logic flow of large-scale MATLAB application architectures.
