MATLAB MATLAB for Macromolecular Drug Flow Research

AI Thread Summary
Learning MATLAB for solving ODEs related to macromolecular drug flow is generally considered manageable, especially for those familiar with C syntax, as the language has a gentle learning curve. Tutorials are available online to help beginners get started. MATLAB combines elements of C, Fortran, and shell scripting, making it easier for those with experience in any two of these languages. However, for complete novices to programming, the learning process may be challenging, though not insurmountable. While MATLAB itself is user-friendly, the broader concepts of programming can present difficulties. Overall, with dedication and the right resources, newcomers can successfully learn MATLAB for their research projects.

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.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
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.
