Learning objectives

The course aims to provide the basics of the programming and operating philosophy of the Matlab software. After some introductory lessons, the course will focus on some applications in economics and finance, such as the pricing of financial instruments and the development of risk-management models. The course aims at improving the computational skills of the students and at introducing a software, which is largely used in the financial and insurance sectors.

Program

Matlab (matrix laboratory) is a multi-paradigm numerical computing environment and proprietary programming language developed by MathWorks. Matlab allows matrix manipulations, plotting of functions and data, implementation of algorithms, creation of user interfaces, and interfacing with programs written in other languages. Although Matlab is intended primarily for numerical computing, an optional toolbox uses the MuPAD symbolic engine allowing access to symbolic computing abilities. An additional package, Simulink, adds graphical multi-domain simulation and model-based design for dynamic and embedded systems. As of 2023, Matlab has more than 4 million users worldwide. Matlab users come from various backgrounds of engineering, science, and economics.

Didactic methods

The course "Programming in Matlab" is an optional "type f" activity, which allows to students to obtain 3 CFU, once a final examination is passed. In particular:
- The course is available only to students that are regularly enrolled to the academic year 2023/2024.
- All students of the CdL and CdLM organized jointly by the Department of Economics and by the Department of Management can register, in particular students of the Master’s degree in Economics and Data Analysis, and of the Master’s degree in Banking and Finance. In case of limitations to the total number of places available, requests for participation will be considered following the registration order, considering that priority will be given to CdLM students, in particular to students of the Master’s degree in Economics and Data Analysis, and of the Master’s degree in Banking and Finance.
- The lessons will be delivered online through Zoom meetings. All the lessons will be registered for later viewing.
- The course will take place in the second semester; there will be just one course.
- The course consists of 24 hours of exercise lessons and tutorial activities (plus 2 hours of final examination).
The tentative calendar of the lessons will be available in due course.

Registrations are open from the 29th of October 2023 to the 31st of March 2024.
Please, register through the elearning platform (Moodle). Students without a university IT account can ask to be registered by writing an email to the coordinator of the course. All other students must use the procedure on Moodle.

Learning assessment procedures

Si ricorda che i laureandi di aprile 2024 non possono partecipare e richiedere l'accreditamento di cfu per la presente attività, in quanto si tratta di un'erogazione 2023/2024, mentre la sessione di laurea di aprile 2024 si riferisce all'a.a. 2022/2023.
Gli studenti regolarmente iscritti all'a.a. 2023/2024 sono tenuti a inserire l'attività a libretto.
--- --- ---
Si ricorda inoltre che non si può mai sostenere la stessa attività didattica più di una volta, anche se in carriere diverse (CdL e CdLM). Nello specifico, se si sono già acquisiti i cfu relativi ad uno specifico laboratorio informatico durante la triennale, non si possono riacquisire di nuovo alla magistrale. Si possono invece trasferire nella carriera della magistrale i cfu di uno specifico laboratorio acquisiti in sovrannumero (oltre i 180 cfu) alla triennale. In caso di necessità, la segreteria potrà intervenire, anche a posteriori o post-laurea. La responsabilità e le conseguenze rimangono comunque a carico dello studente.

The final examination, which will very likely take place online through a Zoom meeting, will consist in a written exam, followed by an oral examination, if necessary, on the use of the software Matlab. There will be just one date for the final examination.
