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.
