Course Modules

Master critical programming building blocks with step-by-step guidance.

Module 1

Workspace & Arithmetic

Learn variable declarations, scalar math, workspace commands, and built-in functions like sqrt and abs.

  • Declaring variables & scalars
  • Mathematical order of operations
  • Built-in function calculations
Module 2

1D Vectors & Element-wise Math

Create row and column vectors, specify step ranges, and perform element-by-element math using dot operators.

  • Colon ranges & step sizes
  • Row vs. Column vectors
  • Element-wise math (.*, ./, .^)
Module 3

2D Matrices & Generators

Build multi-dimensional 2D matrices and generate structure grids using zeros, ones, eye, and size functions.

  • 2D matrix definitions
  • zeros, ones, eye functions
  • Matrix transpose & dimensions
Module 4

Matrix Indexing & Slicing

Extract specific elements, full rows, or columns using matrix subscripting matrix(row, col) and colon slicing.

  • Subscript indexing M(row, col)
  • Row & column slicing M(:, c)
  • Matrix stats (sum, mean, numel)
Module 5

Logical Masking & Filtering

Evaluate comparison operators, execute find searches, and extract array elements using logical masks.

  • Relational operators (>, <, ==)
  • Logical find() function
  • Array element data filtering
Module 6

2D Graphics & Plot Styling

Master data visualization, plotting 2D curves, configuring grid bounds, axis titles, and plot formatting.

  • 2D plot customization
  • xlabel, ylabel, title labels
  • Grid lines & visual rendering
Module 7

Conditional Branching

Control program execution flow using structured if-else and multi-branch if-elseif-else decision logic.

  • Decision branching (if-else)
  • Multi-condition (if-elseif)
  • Boolean state evaluation
Module 8

Iteration & Loops

Automate repetitive calculations using structured for loops, while loops, and counter accumulators.

  • Structured for loop iteration
  • Conditional while loops
  • Counter accumulator patterns
