LaTeX and MATLAB

Aims

Introduction to two widely-used languages for typesetting dissertations and scientific publications, for prototyping numerical algorithms and to visualize results.

Lectures

• L^AT_EX. Workflow example, syntax, typesetting conventions, non-ASCII characters, document structure, packages, mathematical typesetting, graphics and figures, cross references, build tools.
• MATLAB. Tools for technical computing and visualization. The matrix type and its operators, 2D/3D plotting, common functions, function definitions, toolboxes, vectorized audio demonstration.

Objectives

Students should be able to avoid the most common L^AT_EX mistakes, to prototype simple image and signal processing algorithms in MATLAB, and to visualize the results.
