My background is in FORTRAN and I sort of self taught myself Matlab. I think Matlab is such a higher level language than any experience in programming will help. i.e. Programming in matlab is easier than programming in FORTRAN or C++. I find that my experience in FORTRAN programming allows me to make well organized programs in Matlab. Not sure if that helps, but that has been my experience. So, in short I would think any basic programming course would help, but then you would just need to learn matlab syntax on your own. -John -----Original Message----- From: SPM (Statistical Parametric Mapping) [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Shaquanda Jones Sent: Friday, April 27, 2007 3:44 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [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 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?
