Easier Together: Matlab Meetup
For the first Meetup of the year our aim was to come together, share our experiences and problems with MATLAB. We had a diverse group ranging from PhD students to Undergrads, as well as experienced users and even one of our own ResLeads.
We first talked about how to get support for using MATLAB, as well as building your network in the wider community. There are fantastic events and resources provided by MathWorks.
1) MATLAB Conference
The upcoming free MATLAB conference to learn more about which industries use MATLAB extensively and learn about the vast applications. More information here.
2) MATLAB online
MATLAB Online (You can use MATLAB in a web browser!). Find it here.
3) MATLAB resources are available here, with demonstrations and examples of coding, provides an interactive and easy self learning experience (Accessible through the University License).
Following covering these resources, we then proceeded to try and tackle the questions people had and the problems they have been having with their MATLAB applications and code.
Some of the topics we talked about were:
- Plotting
- Ordering Data
- Conversion between data types and data storage objects
- Combining and modifying unordered data
- Automating the creation, saving and classification of files inside a loop
- Examples of debugging
- Good Practices of MATLAB coding
As we went through each issue we recapped the fundamental concepts that were introduced in the beginning workshop.
Thanks to everyone who came to the Meetup and contributed to this event. It was great seeing both old and new faces. Hope to see you all in the future.
Join us at our next Meetup, where Visualisations in MATLAB will be explored. Sign up here.
