Overall Satisfaction with MATLAB
MATLAB is used as a teaching instrument at the university. We have a class dedicated to the learning of this program. It is the only programming class in the mechanical engineering courses. It is a program used by many companies outside school, so the university is getting us prepared to an extensive use of it.
Pros
- Advanced calculus as well as programming, all bundled up together.
- Programming language somewhat similar to other programming software.
- Intuitive built-in tutorials.
Cons
- Even though it is pretty similar to other programming tools, there are some differences that are unique to MATLAB that could be changed, such as index starting at 1 instead of 0.
- It would be nice to have premade parts of program, such as counters or comparators.
- Sometimes programming can be daunting. Interactive programming tutorials or video playlist for beginners.
- Learn the basis of programming.
- Learn the language of programming.
- Learn the structure and norms in programming.
