In the first part of this training, we cover the fundamentals of MATLAB and its function as both a language and a platform.  Included in this discussion is an introduction to MATLAB syntax, arrays and matrices, data visualization, script development, and object-oriented principles.

In the second part, we demonstrate how to use MATLAB for data mining, machine learning and predictive analytics. To provide participants with a clear and practical perspective of MATLAB's approach and power, we draw comparisons between using MATLAB and using other tools such as spreadsheets, C, C++, and Visual Basic.

In the third part of the training, participants learn how to streamline their work by automating their data processing and report generation.

Throughout the course, participants will put into practice the ideas learned through hands-on exercises in a lab environment. By the end of the training, participants will have a thorough grasp of MATLAB's capabilities and will be able to employ it for solving real-world data science problems as well as for streamlining their work through automation.

Assessments will be conducted throughout the course to gauge progress.
