Introduction to programming with MATLAB

This is one of the most interesting courses I have had on Coursera. The reason, apart from the quality of content and exhaustive content, is actually the interest and excitement with which the prof teaches it. His lectures by far are the most fun to listen to.

Given its an introductory course on MATLAB, with relatively long duration videos, the content could have been easy to doze on. However, the prof keeps the students (us) alive and riveting with frequently embedded "witty fun elements" in the lectures - cracking jokes and interesting dialogues (I did find them hilarious :D ) . Having said that, I am very thankful to Vanderbilt university for the amazing content as well, as it starts from very basics and builds on eventually!
