 MATLAB BASICS

➢ MATLAB can be thought of a super-powerful graphing

calculator
o Consider a calculator with graphing features and calculus
capabilities like TI-83

o With many more buttons (built-in functions)

➢ In additional, it is programming language

o MATLAB is an interpreted language, C & python

o Commands are executed line by line.
