MathWorks, the company behind the MATLAB programming language and software, offers 23 free online courses through their MATLAB Academy platform.
The courses introduce learners to the MATLAB language and tools — with a focus on machine learning — and MathWorks’ specialized software, such as Simulink.
Most notably, these MATLAB Academy courses include a free certificate of completion as well as an accompanying progress report.
In this article, we discuss MATLAB Academy, its online courses, and how to earn a free certificate.
Platform
As its name suggests, MATLAB Academy is MathWorks’ one-stop shop for learning MATLAB, and more generally, the MathWorks suite of software and tools.
The platform is straightforward, offering a list of resources categorized by subject, from basic free courses to more advanced paid ones. This article focuses on the free courses available.
MATLAB Academy’s resources cover two main areas:
