Description
The official programming language for the course is Matlab. This being said, you are free to use another language to complete assignments (for example, Python or Julia) provided (a) you get approval from the TAs (who will have to run your code), and (b) you are comfortable enough to translate Matlab instructions to your chosen language yourself.
You can get Matlab here, and Matlab tutorials can be found here and here.
Absolute best Matlab command ever: "help". For example, type "help fminunc" (or "help fmin" + hit TAB for auto-completion) for an explanation of how "fminunc" works. Want more info? Type "doc fminunc" instead. At the end of a help section, there are links to related functions. It pays to explore.
