Training - Courses

This course is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the numerical methods in MATLAB as well as provide useful non-numerical topics that allow you to use MATLAB more effectively. Topics include the mathematical description and the M-file implementation of the basic numerical methods used in MATLAB. Interactive graphical tools are used to demonstrate the algorithms.

The instructor is Cleve Moler, chairman and chief scientist at The MathWorks. Before leaving academic life for the computer industry Moler was a professor of math and computer science for almost 20 years at the University of Michigan, Stanford University, and the University of New Mexico. He then spent five years with two computer hardware manufacturers, the Intel Hypercube Organization and Ardent Computer, joining The MathWorks full-time in 1989.

Cleve's professional interests center on numerical analysis and mathematical software. In addition to being the author of the first version of MATLAB, he is one of the authors of the LINPACK and EISPACK scientific subroutine libraries. He is also co-author of three textbooks on numerical methods.
