EB 2420 - Informatics Computing I

3 lecture hours 2 lab hours 4 credits
Course Description
This is the first in a sequence of two courses in Informatics Computing for BioMolecular Engineering students at MSOE. The goal of this course is to introduce students to computer programming primarily using the array-based MATLAB programming language, aiming at laying the foundation for the second course in the sequence, Informatics Computing II (EB 2430 ). First, this course will teach students the fundamentals of computer programming and then emphasize the syntax and structure of a computer programming language. Second, this course will cover mathematical computing and plotting to solve and visualize various problems applicable to BioMolecular Engineering. (prereq: none)
