Is there any Geodetic engineer that knows MatLab?

Hello there, I am a student in Geodesy (2nd year) and few days ago one of my teachers recommended me to start learning MatLab. For beggining he adviced me to start doing projects that we have done in Excel in MatLab, projects using: The Least Squares Method, determinating coordinates with various topography methods(Delambre, Collins, Cassini-Martinian etc). Being new to programming language I know this won't be easy for me but I really want to learn. Thank you
