MATLAB User Group
Several users have got together under the guise of the MATLAB User Group, chaired by Meurig Gallagher (School of Mathematics), to enable users at the University of Birmingham to understand MATLAB and get the best out of this software. It is important to enable users to talk to each other and help overcome issues thereby taking their research one step further.
Training
We deliver MATLAB training based on the Software Carpentry curriculum. More information can be found here.
Training and Support materials
The University has purchased the MATLAB Academy Online Training Suite. This gives FREE access to online courses including MATLAB Fundamentals and MATLAB for Data Processing and Visualization. Instructions on how to access this can be found here:
