This is a work in progress, as I am still undergoing MATLAB training courses…
MATLAB 30 Day Trial
MATLAB is Expensive Commercial Software however unlike the past, Mathworks have some sensible licensing prices for Student and Home User purposes. For Learning Purposes you can get started using the 30 Day Free Trial and then buy a Student or Home License:
- 30 Day Trial
- Check if your University/School has a Campus License
- Purchasing MATLAB
- Student – Cheapest Option for Student Use Only £59 Annual
- Home – Second Cheapest Option for Home Use Only £105 Annual
- Education – For Teaching and Academic Use £212 Annual/£424 Perpetual
- Standard – For Commercial Use (Expensive) £720 Annual/£1800 Perpetual
MATLAB Training Academy
MATLAB offer a number of self-paced courses. There are two free courses, MATLAB Onramp and Deep Learning Onramp:
There are a number of Core MATLAB courses but unfortunately these can be expensive. I have taken MATLAB Fundamentals, MATLAB for Data Processing and Visualisation and MATLAB Programming Techniques.
Universities with Campus Subscriptions for Online Training may also have Solving Nonlinear Equations, Solving Ordinary Differential Equations with MATLAB, Introducation to Linear Algebra with MATLAB and Introduction to Statistical Methods with MATLAB. My University does not have these courses so I have not tried them.
