You should know the low level basics of MATLAB (Syntax, functions, scripts, etc.)
MATLAB (already installed on your PC)
Description
Through the study of mathematics I have acquired the method to questionize any algorithm down to the smallest detail before I start with the implementation. On the one hand it is a great feeling to fully understand an algorithm (The Aha! moment). On the other hand one can avoid many errors whose cause lie in the misunderstanding of the algorithm in this way.Thus it is a big part of this course to enlight the math behind the treated algorithms. Nevertheless programming techniques behind algorithms are also very important and will be treated as accurate as the the math on which the algorithms are based on. Here we will consider the code for any algorithm for an implementation in MATLAB.MATLAB is a fundamental and enormously powerful programming language. This language is nearly unavoidable if one consider a career in engineering, science or related fields. That is why this course is based on MATLAB.This course is for everyone who wants to learn about interpolation. In this course you will learn аbout:Horner's method Horner's method for derivativesPolynomial interpolation, including interpolation via monomial basis, Lagrange interpolation and Newton interpolationThe interpolation error (How can one minimize or estimate this error? How do we proof the formula for the error bound?)Spline interpolation, including linear spline interpolation and natural cubic spline interpolation Derivation of the formula for the linear and the natural cubic spline interpolationThe code behind all methods The math on which these algorithms are based onHow to use MATLAB to visualize your own examplesWith this course you will obtain also two Matlab Live Scripts with all implementations and all discussed examples.
