Hey everyone! I recently applied for a research internship, and during the interview, I panicked and claimed I was familiar with MATLAB and the Python science suite. I know Python well, but I've never actually used MATLAB. Now, I need to become somewhat competent in it within two weeks to avoid looking like a fraud. I realize I can't learn everything in this short time, but I want to sound convincing. I have a programming background in C++ and Python, so hopefully that helps. Any recommendations on resources or tips to get me up to speed?

Just keep in mind that indexing in MATLAB starts at 1, not 0 like Python. This little detail can trip you up if you're used to Python, so make sure to watch out for it.
You can start with the MATLAB Onramp course; it's really perfect for someone who already has coding experience. It'll cover the basics you need to know without overwhelming you.
Right? It's like a small thing but can lead to big headaches if you're not careful!
