Course Overview

The MATLAB Programming for Numerical Computation certification is an eight-week elective course. This multidisciplinary program falls under the disciplines of chemical engineering and computational biology. IIT Madras has thoroughly curated this curriculum, which their renowned professor, Niket Kaisare will teach.

The MATLAB Programming for Numerical Computation certification syllabus discusses one of the most popular languages used for numerical computation and teaches about its scientific computation usage. Candidates will learn about the practical use of computational techniques through several coding problems and examples. Enrolled candidates will have access to MATLAB online, which is a browser-based version of MATLAB and consists of all its features. 

The MATLAB Programming for Numerical Computation training will offer weekly assignments, course lectures, and practical problems using this MATLAB software. The curriculum focuses on teaching undergraduate students to solve computational problems and familiarising them with the engineering problem’s numerical methods. Besides, candidates can also opt for the final exam and gain the course-end digital certificate.

Eligibility Criteria

The MATLAB Programming for Numerical Computation certification syllabus is eligible for students with elementary experience in calculus and linear algebra. Although not mandated, some background in numerical or computation techniques and programming will be useful.

Certificate Qualifying Details

Moreover, candidates have to answer weekly assessments; six will be used in the final score. In these assessments, candidates must acquire a minimum average score of 10/25.  For the external exam, 30/75 is the minimum score required to qualify. The final score will consider 75% of the examination marks and an average of 25% of the assessments. By meeting these criteria, learners can obtain the MATLAB Programming for Numerical Computation certificate.
