Hi,
I think the 'getting started' booklet shipping with Matlab is a great start, also available online:
http://www.mathworks.com/access/helpdesk/help/techdoc/index.html?/access/helpdesk/help/techdoc/learn_matlab/bqr_2pl.html
Apart from that, I think C(++) knowledge and good programming habits are also an asset (try the good ol' Kernighan & Richie book on ANSI C), and of course a basic training in mathematics. Most people I know that code well just grabbed a book and started...
Cheers,
Bas

Onderwerp: [SPM] Computer Science Course Recommendation in Lieu of Matlab? C Perhaps?
I had a student ask me the other day what computer science course he should sign up for in order to be better able to program in Matlab. We don't offer any specific computer science or engineering classes that feature matlab, so he'll have to choose something else that could be applied. My first guess would be good ol' fashion C, but I don't think that is even taught anymore. Must intro computer science classes teach Java these days, but that seems quite different than matlab.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated (this is for an undergraduate at an American University).
Thanks!
Shaqunada
