EPSS 300 MATLAB for Earth Scientists

This course introduces algorithms to numerically solve mathematical problems relevant to earth science with a focus on programming using MATLAB. The course reviews the MATLAB environment and language for computing and plotting and introduces common numerical methods to solve the partial different equations (PDE) of importance in earth sciences. Students write MATLAB scripts to solve systems of linear equations, to compute linear and nonlinear regressions, and to make numerical computations using geoscience data, involving differentiation and integration.
