Thank you for tuning in and supporting free programming education for all! Have a great week.

The perfect 'faster paced' intro to MatLab. Most other courses are too slow and dull while this one is just the right speed to keep you engaged while managing to keep up.

This was THE best "crash course" that I have watched. It really is a crash course, not a 10-hour tutorial that treats you like someone who never used a computer. This was one of only few Crash Courses that I finished.
Thank you so much for treating us like an intelligent human being.

[roenbis]

Oh man, thank you. You've covered an entire semester's worth of material in two hours. That's great!

[calebhkelley]

Anyone else notice the embarrasing browser history item at 41:11? Excellent job, Phillip! Lol.

I was searching for copper and freecodecamp posted gold

One of the most senior members of the company that makes MATLAB is my dad, and my mom used to work there too. I came here because sometimes my parents will be talking about what's going on and I have no clue what they're saying. This was easy to understand - I doubt I'll be adding anything intellectual to any conversations but now maybe at least I won't be nodding along like "mhm mhm I totally get it but I don't think that teddy bear does so could you explain it all again in slightly simpler terms"

[gmfuivs]

This is the best get to go video for learning MATHLAB in a very fast way. I don't I ever gave a comment for any video before but this is gold. Thank you.

I can already code in Python and R but I'm needing to do some stuff in MATLAB for my PhD. This was an excellent intro to familiarise myself with the basics of MATLAB. I found I was able to watch it at 2x speed and still keep up. Great stuff!

[sundarayerrapragada]

Most awaited lesson on MATLAB. Thanks a lot for the wonderful dedication to education.

[raulcasquinha]

I absolutely love every free code camp course, thank you for all the great tips

[Asta-a-Vista]

Very clear order of explanation of the material! Please continue to create courses in the future. Thank you.

[adieodds]

It was a great journey! Thank you for a great delivery and simple explanations and thanks for not making us feel stupid 😄

[Ragnarok]

The fun thing about Matlab is that pretty much everything here will apply to the open source alternative, Octave.

[benoitgauthier]

You are amazing at this! Thank you so much for this great tutorial. The pace is perfect, the examples are very instructive and the amount of stuff covered in less than two hours is impressive!

[HouseTre]

This video is a great review for engineering students to watch at the end of their analysis and systems dynamics courses. You're an excellent teacher!

[simonnjoroge]

Thank you so much for this, couldn't have come a a better time.

[gravitysalad]

It doesn't really matter and I'm sure someone has already mentioned it, but if anyone's interested the problem at 1:06:25 can be solved by taking the sum of the widths of the intervals and dividing by the length of the total interval. The width of one interval is 2*((pi/2)-arcsin(0.8)) and there are two such intervals, so the percentage of y values > 0.8 is (4*((pi/2)-arcsin(0.8)))/10. A tiny bit more than 25.74% !

Thanks for your great explanations, dear Phil. I just wanted to refresh my knowledge on Matlab but I should confess I've learned a lot .

[paulatapus]

This video was so helpful and engaging. I got through the entire 2 hours and it was completely worth it. As someone who had to prior knowledge of MATLAB, he made it extremely easy to follow. Thank you so much for putting this video out!
