Ramesh Manglav
I am Ramesh. I am willing to learn Matlab. I want to know where I am having opportunity after learning Matlab. Give me some of site where I can learn Matlab.
MATLAB is called the 'Language of Technical Computing' for a reason. It has a variety of uses in the field of communication technologies such as signal and image processing, communications, control systems, and computational finance. It is a programming language developed by Mathworks
Basic things you can do with MATLAB:
- Design and implement any waveform based on your requirements.
- Sampling and binding of wave under various parameters
- Call C & Fortran functions in a MATLAB program.
- Call Java libraries or ActiveX from a MATLAB program
Some of the most interesting applications of MATLAB:
- Developing control algorithms for hypersonic vehicles
- Running millions of simulations to pinpoint optimal dosing for antibiotics.
- Building energy consumption model for smart power grids
- Analyzing weather data to visualize the track and intensity of hurricanes
What kind of jobs can you get after you learn MATLAB?
If you are studying B.E. or B.Tech in any field - right from IT or CS to Electronics to Mechanical or Aerospace engineering, MATLAB can give you a headstart in careers related to:
- Modelling and Simulation
- Algorithm Development
- Scientific Graphics
- Data Analysis and Exploration
- etc.
Companies in India that hire mechanical engineers for their MATLAB skills include:
Cummins, Tata Motors, Infosys, Tata Consultancy Services, John Deere, IBM, Cognizant, Tata Technologies, Eaton, Mahindra & Mahindra, Thermax, Accenture, Siemens, 3DPLM Software Solutions Limited, Wipro, Atlas Copco and Schlumberger.
How to learn MATLAB?
There are multiple ways to do that. Assuming that you are a self-learner who wants to get started at his home/office from his computer and an internet connection, here are some useful resources that can help you to get started:
1. Mathworks has created its own MATLAB Academy. It has various course modules to help you learn things step by step at your own pace.
