Introduction1:45

How to define symbolic variables2:37
Derivatives and indefinite integrals3:42
Define symbolic variables in Matlab, build expressions, and compute derivatives and indefinite integrals. Specify the differentiation or integration variable when multiple variables exist to avoid wrong results.
Polynomials to symbolic, expand, factor3:34
Explore how Matlab handles symbolic polynomial expressions and polynomial vectors, converting between forms, pretty-printing, factoring, and expanding to reveal roots.
Simplify, collect3:42
Explore how Matlab's simplify and collect functions reduce a complex expression to a neat polynomial by gathering like terms for a clearer overview.
How to substitute values into symbolic variables2:27
Learn to substitute values into symbolic variables in matlab using subs, by defining x and y and f = x + y, and specifying which variable gets value in order.
Plotting symbolic functions in 2D2:38
Solve symbolic equations and systems7:49

Solving differential equations straight-forward5:47
Solving systems of differential equations straight-forward2:59
Example: calculate the position and acceleration of a particle5:48
Solving differential equations numerically: ode-functions4:36
Learn to solve ordinary differential equations numerically in MATLAB using ode45 as the first choice; set up the equation, integration range, and initial value with function handles and graphical output.
Numerical solver for second order ODEs6:54
Using a function from a file for numerical solvers3:24
Solve a first-order differential equation in Matlab by defining the equation in a function and using a function handle with a solver, 0 to 10, initial condition 1, and plot.
Example: butterfly effect (Lorenz equations)10:41

Requirements

Basic knowledge of Matlab
The content of the #1 MATLAB basics - udemy course

Description

This is an intermediate Matlab course for engineering and STEM-students and professionals in these areas. The course is focussing on two main topics: usage of symbolic variables and expressions and solving different kinds of equations in Matlab. Differential equations play a major role in engineering and natural sciences and this course is going to provide you the knowledge how Matlab can help you soling such equations (or systems) straigth-forward and numerically in Matlab.

Who this course is for:

This course was specially designed for engineering students, engineers, natural scientists and anyone interested in using Matlab to solve mathematical or physical problems
