Introduction to Analytical Programming (Winter 2025)

Course schedule:
Class: Tuesday, 7-9PM – DB1004
Lab: Tuesday, 9-10PM – DB1004

Instructor: Professor Arik Senderovich

Course Objectives
The course presents an extension of structured programming concepts covered in ITEC1620.
Students are introduced to new programming environments (MATLAB) for industrial applications
and develop skills in technical computing, data visualization and simulation. The course will
include weekly lectures, discussions, in-class exercises, and hands-on labs (with the Teaching
Assistant). This variety provides opportunities for students to learn in different ways.

Course Learning Outcomes


By the end of the course, the students will be:
- Interpreting analytical problems from various domains
- Inferring the type of coding solution required for a given problem
- Implementing solutions for analytical problems in MATLAB
- Executing their code in various MATLAB environments (script, live coding, console)
- Generating well-organized and self-explainable documentation of their solutions

Recording Lectures

Lectures and course materials prepared by the instructor are considered by the University to be
an instructor’s intellectual property covered by the Canadian Copyright Act. Students wishing to
record a lecture or other course material in any way are required to ask the instructor’s explicit
permission and may not do so unless permission is granted. Students who have been
previously granted permission to record lectures as an accommodation for a disability are
excepted. This includes tape recording, filming, photographing PowerPoint slides, eClass
materials, etc.

If permission for recording is granted by the instructor, it is intended for the individual student’s
own study purposes and does not include permission to “publish” them in any way. It is
forbidden for a student to publish an instructor’s notes to a website or sell them in any other
form without formal permission.
