MATLAB MATLAB for Macromolecular Drug Flow Research

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

Learning MATLAB for macromolecular drug flow research is manageable, especially for individuals familiar with C syntax. The language combines elements of C, Fortran, and shell scripting, making it accessible for those with prior programming experience. Several tutorials are available online, such as those from Cyclismo, Michigan Tech, and Southern Illinois University, which can facilitate the learning process. While MATLAB itself is not difficult to learn, programming concepts may present challenges for complete beginners.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with C syntax
  • Basic understanding of ordinary differential equations (ODEs)
  • Knowledge of programming concepts
  • Access to MATLAB software (preferably the latest version)
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore MATLAB tutorials from Cyclismo, Michigan Tech, and Southern Illinois University
  • Practice solving ordinary differential equations (ODEs) using MATLAB
  • Learn about MATLAB's built-in functions for numerical analysis
  • Investigate MATLAB's integration with other programming languages like C and Fortran
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for researchers, students, and professionals in the fields of macromolecular drug delivery, computational biology, and anyone looking to learn MATLAB for scientific computing.

How difficult is MATLAB to learn as I am soon to begin a research project that is supposedly going to require MATLAB to solve ODEs related to macromolecular drug flow.

MATLAB does not have a steep learning curve. If you know C syntax, you should be able to learn it fairly quickly. There are a couple of tutorials out there that you can follow to get going.

I found these pretty quickly not too long ago.

Matlab is a cross between C, Fortran, and a shell. If you know any two of the
three its very easy. If not, it will be easy once you solve some simple excercises.

If you have never programmed before, it will be an odessy through the bowels of
Hades.
 
I have never programmed before so is it really going to be that difficult?

No, not really. But it will not be easy either. Matlab is easy- programming is
difficult.
