This tutorial will expand as we progress in the course. Each section has notes for both MATLAB and Python.

  1. About the course software
  2. Software installation
  3. Getting started
  4. My first program (required for Tutorial 1)
  5. for loops and while loops (required for Tutorial 1)
  6. Scripts and functions (useful for Tutorial 2)

Need some more help?

Not every aspect about MATLAB or Python can be covered with our tutorial (above). Here are some additional resources.
