Is anyone interested in learning MATLAB?

If you have never heard of MATLAB, it is a program which has coding that is similar to C++ but is unique to itself.

Here is an explanation of MATLAB straight from the official MATLAB website:

You can use MATLAB for a range of applications, including signal processing and communications, image and video processing, control systems, test and measurement, computational finance, and computational biology. More than a million engineers and scientists in industry and academia use MATLAB, the language of technical computing.


If anyone is interested in learning this, I will start doing a tutorial with it similar to my C++ tutorial.

To get an idea and some understanding about MATLAB, here is a video:

Updated my original post with a video.


Also, would anyone be interested in learning about other powerful programs/tools? One I could do is Cadence OrCAD - PSPICE which is used to create schematics of circuits. On top of schematics, it can actually simulate them and give you all values: Resistance, Currents, Voltages, etc.

@"Daniel", I think earlier you mentioned you were interested in something along these lines. "B" was created using this program. Although I had no need to simulate it as I actually created the simple circuit in lab and tested it for all the combinations of the switch. It matched my truth table perfectly.
 
This reminds me of Basic Stamp Editor...we used it to code controls for systems and robots (boe-bots technically).

This is a very simple password debug terminal I coded in bs2 (BSE). I'm going to dig through my Highschool folder later and see if I can find a project I did similar to what you've shown above.

Code: 
' {$STAMP BS2}
' {$PBASIC 2.5}

Hah, I did boe bots in my introduction to engineering class my first year with basic stamp. We programmed it to go through many different tracks. One was to simply follow a black line around a track. One was dead reckoning, where you simply program it to go through the track, no sensors. Another was with "whiskers" or antennas, where if it hit a wall with one wire it would do something, and if it hit a wall with another it would do something, and if both wires hit a wall at the same time it would do something. The track had tons of zig-zags. =p
 


Haha yes! I've done all of those...the funnest was the sumo bots (battle bots). Fucking so much fun to tweak.
 


I never did that. Sounds cool though.


Anyone want to learn other things like the fundamentals of computer engineering? Anything about electrical engineering?

The reason I ask is because if I have to explain something, it helps me learn it. Teaching is the best way to learn.
 
Anything else anyone wants to learn?

I'll do my best to find time to start another tutorial within the next few weeks.
 
wow. Someone who is along with my field.
I haven't used mathlab before. But I have used MiniTab.

Is it better for engineers??

Click to expand...

Not mathlab...."MAT" lab. Mat as in matrices (matrix). Very useful for anything math related, including programs for engineering.

Stop by my forum, BitLeak.net, and perhaps I will make an in-depth tutorial on how to use it if you would like.
