Värderingsförmåga och förhållningssätt
För godkänd kurs skall doktoranden Show that he/she can chose the optimal MATLAB tools to solve problems when evaluating measured data.
Many PhD-students that work experimentally do not evaluate their results by efficient and scientific methods, and their results thereby do not get the attention they deserve. It is for example common to see non-physical curve fits and fonts that are too small to read. MATLAB offers a computer environment where one can evaluate measurements and visualize results almost without any limitations. With MATLAB one can therefore realize one's scientific ideas and go from "acceptable" to "perfect". This course gives an introduction to MATLAB as a tool to evaluate measured data with the following parts: 1. Introduction. 2. Commands and structure. 3. Basic curve fitting. 4. Program control. 5. Functions. 6. Advanced graphics and input/output. 7. Strings and data structures. 8. Efficient programming. 9. Advanced curve fitting. 10. Forward-difference simulations. 11. Filtering. 12. Graphical user interfaces. 13. Monte-carlo simulations. 14. Smart uses of MATLAB.
Wadsö, L.: Evaluating measurements with MATLAB.
A compendium that is distributed to the participants.
Undervisningsformer: Föreläsningar, seminarier, övningar. The course consists of 14 lessons (2 h each) with introductions by the course leader and discussions on how to solve different types of problems.
Examinationsform: Inlämningsuppgifter.
After each lesson one problem shall be solved by MATLAB. A solution should be handed in before the next lesson.
Betygsskala: Underkänd, godkänd
Examinator: Professor Lars Wadsö
Förkunskapskrav: Course is open to all PhD-students.
Förutsatta förkunskaper: None, but it is an advantage if you have worked with MATLAB and/or other programming languages. If you have not, you will be given some exercises to do before the course starts.
Urvalskriterier: Participant from Builiding Materials.
