About the Course

Investigate the flexibility and power of project-oriented computational analysis. Practice using this technique to resolve complicated problems in a range of fields including the physical and engineering sciences, finance and economics, medical, social and biological sciences. Enhance communication of information by creating visual representations of scientific data.

Take a project-oriented computational approach to solving problems in the physical and engineering sciences, finance and economics, medical, social and biological sciences. Apply advanced MATLAB routines and toolboxes to resolve problems. Review and practice graphical techniques for information presentations and learn to create visual illustrations of scientific results.
