A=[ 1 2 ]
B=[ 2 3 ]
A+B
would give the result [ 3 5 ].
It is extrememly powerful, It is used for example in Engineering and Financial applications for example to calulate the IRR of some cash flows couldnt be simpler: irr([-100 250 150]). Doing the same calulation in C++ woud take a good few more steps.
The Help sytem in Matlab is nothing short of outstanding. If you have an interest in Financial Modelling, Neural Networks or Genetic Algorithms this is the place to start! There is nothing like making a program which actually does something to enable you to understand these things.
Courses at KC start for the absolute beginning. Its also necessary that we teach some matrices as well.
Kensington College London (founded in 1981), provides computer courses in central London.
For all programming courses it is recommended that preliminary discussion is had with regard to possible background programming or mathematical experience (eg none of these is really required for VBA ) and the suitability/applicability of one language over another.
We run regular courses for people who have very little or no knowledge of computing, or those who wish to update their computer skills.
Courses use specialized, colourful manuals. The emphasis is on simplicity.
Each student of course has access to his or her own computer in class but a student bringing and using their own laptop has proved very useful. It is strongly recommended that a student has a computer of one form or another with Microsoft Office in order to practise.
At the completion of your computer education course, subject to satisfactory performance, a Kensington College IT Certificate is awarded.
