AbstractThe lecture "Introductory Programming in MATLAB" provides a basic knowledge about imperative programming. Additionally, the students learn how to apply imperative programming in modeling of domain specific systems.
ObjectiveThe students should learn how to write programs in MATLAB, resp. how to understand, change and extent existing programs.
ContentA basic knowledge about imperative programming is explained together with algorithms and data structures for simulation tasks in MATLAB. Additionally, the techniques how to modularize large programs are discussed. During the exercises the students write their own programs in team. The course is closed with a larger project which simulates a complex system from the students main domain of study.

1) MATLAB installation, MATLAB programming environment, Help, variables, expressions, floating point number representation
