Structure scripts and functions the way professionals do, so your code is readable and easy to debug.
Updated for the 2026 MATLAB curriculum
A complete, step-by-step guide that takes you from zero to advanced MATLAB: fundamentals, plotting, data analysis, functions, apps and the modern features the 2026 curriculum expects. Every chapter is built around working code you can run right away.
What you'll be able to do
Structure scripts and functions the way professionals do, so your code is readable and easy to debug.
Vectorize calculations, index data confidently, and solve linear systems without loops.
Create 2D and 3D plots, customize every detail, and export figures ready for reports and papers.
Write reusable functions, handle errors, and turn repetitive tasks into one-click workflows.
Load spreadsheets and files, handle missing values, and work with tables for fast analysis.
Design simple apps with App Designer so others can use your models without touching the code.
Why this guide
Most MATLAB resources cover either the basics or a narrow topic. This guide follows a single path, in order, with each chapter building on the last.
