Learning Objectives:

• Understand what MATLAB is.


• Know how to get started with MATLAB.
• Recognize the basics of MATLAB.
• know how to solve various problems
Be able to explore MATLAB on your own !
Contents
• Introduction
• Getting Started
• Vectors and Matrices
• Built in functions
• M–files : script and functions
Introduction
MATLAB – MATrix LABoratory
• Initially developed by a lecturer in 1970’s to help students learn
linear algebra.
• It was later marketed and further developed under MathWorks
Inc. (founded in 1984) – www.mathworks.com
• Matlab is a software package which can be used to perform
analysis and solve mathematical and engineering problems.
• It has excellent programming features and graphics capability –
easy to learn and flexible.
• Available in many operating systems – Windows, Macintosh,
Unix, DOS
• It has several tool boxes to solve specific problems.
Getting Started
Run MATLAB from Start  Programs  MATLAB

– command history, command window, workspace, etc


• For Matlab Student – only command window

Command window
• Main window – where commands are entered
Vectors and Matrices
Variables
ALL variables are matrices

e.g. 1 x 1 4x1 1x4 2x4


4 3 3 2 1 7 2 1 5 6
2 9 3 2 4
   
9 
 
3
Variables
•They are case–sensitive i.e x  X
•Their names can contain up to 31 characters
•Must start with a letter

Variables are stored in workspace


Rounding
• How do we assign a value to a variable?

>> v1=3 >> whos


v1 = Name Size Bytes Class
3 R 1x1 8 double array
>> i1=4 i1 1x1 8 double array
i1 = v1 1x1 8 double array
4 Grand total is 3 elements using 24 bytes
>> R=v1/i1 >> who
R= Your variables are:
0.7500 R i1 v1
>> >>
• Example:

A  1 2 3 4 5
>> A = [1 2 3 4 5] A row vector –
A = values are
1 2 3 4 5 separated by
>> spaces

>> B = [10;12;14;16;18]
B = 10

separated
16 by semi–
18 colon (;) 16
>> 18
If we want to construct a vector of, say, 100
elements between 0 and 2 – linspace

>> c1 = linspace(0,(2*pi),100);
>> whos
Name Size Bytes Class
c1 1x100 800 double array
Grand total is 100 elements using 800 bytes
>>
If we want to construct an array of, say, 100
elements between 0 and 2 – colon notation
>> c2 = (0:(2*pi)/99:(2*pi))
>> whos
Name Size Bytes Class
c1 1x100 800 double array
c2 1x100 800 double array
Grand total is 200 elements using 1600 bytes

• How do we assign values to matrices ?

>>> A=[1 2 3;4 5 6;7 8 9]


A =
1 2 3 1 2 3 
4 5 6  4 5 6
7 8 9  
>>> 7 8 9

Columns separated by Rows separated by


space or a comma semi-colon
Vectors and Matrices

• How do we access elements in a matrix or a vector?

Try the followings:


>>> A(2,3) >>> A(:,3)
ans = ans =
6 3
6
9

>>> A(1,:) >>> A(2,:)


ans = ans =
1 2 3 4 5 6

>> D = (0:5)
D=
0 1 2 3 4 5 >> D (3)
ans =
2
Vectors and Matrices
• Some special variables

>> 1/0
Warning: Divide by zero.
beep ans =

pi () Inf
>> pi
inf (e.g. 1/0)
ans =
i, j ( 1 ) 3.1416
>> i
ans =
0+ 1.0000i
Vectors and Matrices
• Arithmetic operations – Matrices

Performing operations to every entry in a matrix


Add and subtract
>>> A=[1 2 3;4 5 6;7 8 9] >>> A+3
A = ans =
1 2 3 4 5 6
4 5 6 7 8 9
7 8 9 10 11 12
>>>
>>> A-2
ans =
-1 0 1
2 3 4
5 6 7
>> X= sum (A)
>> x =sum (A)
x=
12 15 18
