Responding to a call for national reform of mathematical education, as well as a college-wide revision of general education requirements, a team of faculty and undergraduate students designed a new course to show the humanitarian utility of mathematics. Assuming no prior knowledge of MATLAB, this Humanitarian MATLAB Lab Manual contains complete MATLAB materials for such a course. A variety of social justice issues including peace-building after modern civil wars, continued cancer risk after Chernobyl, HIV/AIDS therapy, pollution, terrorism, various dimensions of human trafficking, the use of a tractor and herbicide in subsistence farming, and equitable resource distribution during the Syrian refugee crisis are considered in this manual.
