Workshop description

MATLAB is a high-level technical computing language and interactive environment for algorithm development, data visualization, data analysis, and numeric computation. Using MATLAB, one can solve technical computing problems faster than with traditional programming languages, such as C, C++, and Fortran.

This workshop will show how it can be used in classroom context and be integrated in teaching physics. Some sample exercises from Mechanics where students solved problems using MATLAB will be explored. Discover how MATLAB can be applied in different situations
