MATLAB Learning Matlab for University Beginners - Tips and Resources

AI Thread Summary
Starting university often involves using MATLAB, which can be manageable even for beginners. It's recommended to explore various online tutorials, such as those found at amath.colorado.edu, to get acquainted with MATLAB basics. While MATLAB is user-friendly, gaining a foundational understanding of programming concepts through a computer science course can greatly enhance the learning experience. Languages like Python, Java, or C# are suggested as good starting points due to their high-level abstraction, making it easier to grasp programming fundamentals. Ultimately, familiarity with these concepts will facilitate a smoother transition to learning MATLAB.

MATLAB is pretty easy as a programming language, but when in university try to do a computer science paper which focuses on programming. It will just make your university life a whole lot simpler when you understand 'object-orientated' programming.
 
I say start out with something with a high level of abstraction such as Python. You would also benefit from learning Java or C# as your first language. It depends on what your school offers in its intro. CS course. MATLAB is then pretty easy to learn. If you're dead-set on learning it, then you might as well Google search Matlab Tutotials as Dr. Transport said. Good luck!
