MODULE A:
• The MATLAB programming environment
• Working with the MATLAB user interface
• Variables and commands
• Data management
• Data interpolation and extrapolation
• Graphical representation of data
• Automate scripted commands
• Working with tabular data
• Adapt models to empirical data
• Introduction to the use of molecular visualization and manipulation programs (AVOGADRO and VMD)
• Preparation of a molecular model

The course will consist of lectures in the computer room, with the use of computers, through which students will practice by confronting themselves with a series of tasks designed to apply the different notions of programming and visualization during the lessons themselves.

The teachers receive, by appointment via e-mail, every working day at their studio, in the headquarters in via Valleggio 9, Como.
Alternatively, the receipt can be made via an electronic platform.
