Mathematical Software (FSI-0MS)

Academic year 2022/2023
Supervisor: prof. RNDr. Ing. Tomáš Březina, CSc.  
Supervising institute: ÚM all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: Czech
Course type: departmental course
Aims of the course unit:

To teach students to program in MATLAB with productive use of its specific features and some built-in tools.

Learning outcomes and competences:

Productive use of MATLAB development and programming environment and writing secure programs.

Prerequisites:

Knowledge and skills that meet the conditions for successful completion of the BASICS OF PROGRAMMING (SZP) and the basics of linear algebra are expected.

Course contents:

In this course we deal with secure programming in Matlab. For this, specific features of the language are used, especially the representation of the variable as an array, supporting algorithmization with the widest possible use of built-in matrix operations. We also mention the concept of graphical user interface and some other built-in tools.
We use Matlab R2020b and higher.

Teaching methods and criteria:

The preferred style is learning by solve simple tasks.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes:

Credit is awarded on the basis of point evaluation of an independently prepared semester project. The evaluation is fully in the competence of the teacher according to the valid guidelines of BUT.

Controlled participation in lessons:

Absence from the seminar can be replaced by a separate elaboration of the project discussed at the seminar with a possible presentation.

Type of course unit:
    Computer-assisted exercise  13 × 2 hrs. compulsory                  
Course curriculum:
    Computer-assisted exercise

1. Matlab environment, Matlab language and its elementary elements
2. M-function, function descriptor
3. Variables as arrays, dynamic declaration and resizing, indexing by arrays
4. Indexing by searching, sorting and set operations
5. Block matrices and operations
6. Matrices vs. cell arrays, matrix algebra
7. Expression of invariants by matrix algebra
9. More about rendering graphs
10. More about file operations
11. More about control commands, protected blocks
12. Event management, graphical user interface
13. Other data types, structure, symbolic type


At each seminar, at least one project is written or developed with the teacher's explanation and under his guidance, in which the constructions according to the current topic are implemented.
