Get started with MATLAB^® by walking through an example of calculating solar panel energy production. This video shows you the basics, giving you an idea of what working in MATLAB is like.

Import data, define variables, and perform calculations using elements of the MATLAB desktop environment, including the Command Window, the Workspace browser, and the Variables editor. Visualize data using prebuilt plots and customize the visualizations. Explore documentation to find built-in functions, guidance on their syntax, and code examples that demonstrate how to use the functions. Lastly, use the Live Editor to create scripts that combine code, output, and formatted text in an executable notebook that can be shared with others.
