Term: Michaelmas
Hours: 2
Format: Video lectures and in-person Q&A sessions

Aims
Introduction to two widely-used languages for typesetting dissertations and scientific publications, for prototyping numerical algorithms and to visualize results.
Lectures
- LATEX. 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 LATEX mistakes, to prototype simple image and signal processing algorithms in MATLAB, and to visualize the results.
