What is Matlab ?
Stands for MATrix LABoratory
Interpreted language (Line by Line)
Scientific programming environment ( cos , sin , ....)
Very good tool for the manipulation of matrices ( rank , inv ....)
Great visualisation capabilities ( plot , stem ....)
Loads of built-in functions ( Use help you will be surprised...)
Easy to learn and simple to use ( Use help of matlab + lot of online
examples ....)
MATLAB Desktop
1- Command Window
2- Command History
3- Workspace
4- Current Directory
Exercise 1
Hint :
^ : power
sqrt: square root
23 = (2^3)
Solutions to Exercise 1

10
Remember Matrix(row,column)
column vector
row vector
The : operator
VERY important operator in Matlab
Means to
>> 1:10
ans =
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Creating Vectors
1- Create vector with equally spaced intervals
x=0:0.5:pi
2- Create vector with n equally spaced intervals
x=linspace(0, pi, 7)
Note: MATLAB uses pi to represent , uses i or j to represent imaginary unit
Creating Matrices
zeros(m, n): matrix with all zeros
ones(m, n): matrix with all ones.
eye(m, n): the identity matrix
randn(m, n): normally distributed random
+: addition
-: subtraction
^: exponentiation
*: multiplication
/: division
Manipulating Vectors
Evaluated element by element

Manipulating Matrices
Try These :
>> A '
% transpose
-For : A =
>> B*A
% matrix multiplication
4
>> B.*A
% element by element multiplication
5
>> A\B
% left division same as INV(A)*B
2
>> B/A
% matrix division
>> B./A
% element by element division
>> [B A]
% Join matrices (horizontally)
>> [B; A]
% Join matrices (vertically)
>> A-B
% Subtract B from A
>> A^2
% calculate A square
& B=
