All Rensselaer faculty, staff and students are welcome to
attend two complimentary MATLAB seminars which are scheduled to
be held in Room 3101 of the Russell Sage Laboratory on
Wednesday, August 29, 2012.
Seminar Agenda
Session 1
10:00am - Noon
Data Analysis and Visualization with MATLAB for Beginners
MATLAB is a programming environment for algorithm
development, data analysis, visualization, and numerical
computation. Using MATLAB, users can solve technical computing
problems faster than with traditional programming languages,
such as C, C++, and Fortran.
During this introductory technical seminar, instructors will
provide an overview of MATLAB and introduce users to the
powerful statistical analysis and visualization capabilities
available in the MATLAB product family. Instructors will also
demonstrate how to acquire, analyze and visualize data,
introduce desktop tools for editing and debugging code, and
show users how to publish their results.
Session highlights include:
- Accessing data from files, spreadsheets and other
sources
- Performing statistical analysis, curve and surface
fitting routines
- Developing algorithms and applications to automate your
workflow
- Generating reports in HTML and other file formats to
share your work
Session 2
1:00pm - 3:00pm
Introduction to Simulink for System Modeling and
Simulation
Simulink is an environment for multi-domain simulation and
Model-Based Design for dynamic and embedded systems. It
provides an interactive graphical environment and a
customizable set of block libraries that let you design,
simulate, implement, and test a variety of time-varying
systems, including communications, controls, signal processing,
video processing, and image processing.
In this session, instructors will show participants how to
design and simulate a DC Motor, starting by using differential
equations to model the DC Motor in MATLAB and then porting the
design over to Simulink to optimize the motor model and
simulate its dynamic behavior. Instructors will also
demonstrate how to speed up the design process by creating
custom blocks and using advanced built-in libraries.
Session highlights include:
- Incorporating MATLAB code into Simulink models
- Creating a new model from scratch
- Using libraries of pre-defined blocks
- Creating personal reusable sub-systems
To register for either or both of these seminars, please
