Programming Languages

Today's tutorials will occur along 4 tracks, each devoted to a different programming language, running concurrently. Each tab below corresponds to one of these tracks. The tutorials associated with each track are listed on the relevant tab.

MATLAB

Using MATLAB on Oscar | 9:30 - 11:00 EDT

An introduction to using MATLAB on Oscar. Topics covered include: working with MATLAB interactively on Oscar, using the MATLAB GUI, and using MATLAB in batch jobs.

Slides | Exercises

MATLAB: Programming Basics | 11:00 - 12:30 EDT

An introduction to programming using MATLAB. Topics covered include: programs and functions, relational operators, logical operators, and controlling flow with if statements and loops.
