Course Overview
The MATLAB Programming for Numerical Computation certification is an eight-week elective course. This multidisciplinary program falls under the disciplines of chemical engineering and computational biology. IIT Madras has thoroughly curated this curriculum, which their renowned professor, Niket Kaisare will teach.
The MATLAB Programming for Numerical Computation certification syllabus discusses one of the most popular languages used for numerical computation and teaches about its scientific computation usage. Candidates will learn about the practical use of computational techniques through several coding problems and examples. Enrolled candidates will have access to MATLAB online, which is a browser-based version of MATLAB and consists of all its features.
The MATLAB Programming for Numerical Computation training will offer weekly assignments, course lectures, and practical problems using this MATLAB software. The curriculum focuses on teaching undergraduate students to solve computational problems and familiarising them with the engineering problem’s numerical methods. Besides, candidates can also opt for the final exam and gain the course-end digital certificate.

Eligibility Criteria
The MATLAB Programming for Numerical Computation certification syllabus is eligible for students with elementary experience in calculus and linear algebra. Although not mandated, some background in numerical or computation techniques and programming will be useful.
Certificate Qualifying Details
Moreover, candidates have to answer weekly assessments; six will be used in the final score. In these assessments, candidates must acquire a minimum average score of 10/25. For the external exam, 30/75 is the minimum score required to qualify. The final score will consider 75% of the examination marks and an average of 25% of the assessments. By meeting these criteria, learners can obtain the MATLAB Programming for Numerical Computation certificate.
What you will learn
Candidates enrolled in the MATLAB Programming for Numerical Computation certification course are going to learn about the following:
- MATLAB programming fundamentals
- Introduction to numerical methods used in engineering problems
- Solve computational problems using MATLAB
Who it is for
The MATLAB Programming for Numerical Computation certification is ideal for undergraduates or students who possess a BE, MSc, ME, or MS degree. Candidates who are pursuing their Ph.D. or practicing scientists/engineers may find the course beneficial as well.

The Syllabus
This module will introduce the students to MATLAB programming through a few examples. Students who have used MATLAB are still recommended to do this module, as it introduces MATLAB in context of how we use it in this course
This module covers MATLAB Script and Function files, loops, execution control, best-practices for MATLAB functions and tips on how to debug a MATLAB code.
Taylor’s / Maclaurin series expansion of some functions will be used to introduce approximations and errors in computational methods
The focus of this module is to do a quick introduction of most popular numerical methods in linear algebra, and use of MATLAB to solve practical problems.
After introduction to bisection rule, this module primarily covers Newton-Raphson method and MATLAB routines fzero and fsolve.
Methods of numerical differentiation and integration, trade-off between truncation and round-off errors, error propagation and MATLAB functions for integration will be discussed.
- Explicit ODE solving techniques in single variable will be covered in this module.
This module will cover ODE solving in multiple variables, stiff systems, and practical problems. The importance of ODEs in engineering is reflected by the fact that two modules are dedicated to ODEs.
The focus will be practical ways of using linear and nonlinear regression and interpolation functions in MATLAB.
- ODE-Boundary Value Problems; Differential Algebraic Equations
- Practical ways of solving Hyperbolic and Parabolic PDEs
- Optimization andSolving interesting computational problems by bringing together multiple concepts
Evaluation process
Acquiring the MATLAB Programming for Numerical Computation certificate requires in-person attending of Swayam’s proctored test at their designated centers.
To secure a seat, exam registration forms for the MATLAB Programming for Numerical Computation training will be available on the website. An announcement will indicate the registration form release. Candidates must fill in the forms with the crucial details and pay the fees online. They can refer to the form for the exam date and time and attend it at the examination center.
