About IIT Kharagpur

Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur is a public institute of technology established by the Government of India in Kharagpur, West Bengal, India. Established in 1951, the institute is the first of the IITs to be established and is recognized as an Institute of National Importance.

Workshop Objectives

This workshop aims at providing a gentle introduction to the fundamental and practical aspects of scientific computing with MATLAB.
As many users do not have access to MATLAB, which is proprietary software, the workshop shall also cover Octave programming which has a syntax similar to MATLAB and can be used as an open-source alternative.
Both theoretical and hands-on practical aspects shall be covered comprehensively.
Besides demonstrating the implementations of numerical algorithms from scratch, the workshop will also include built-in tools for higher-level usage.
This workshop is specifically designed such that it is beneficial to students with Physics, Chemistry, and Materials Science majors.
Handpicked case studies from quantum mechanics, classical mechanics, spectrum analysis, diffusion, chemical kinetics, etc. shall be covered with live demonstrations.
