1 Basic MATLAB Tutorial This is a basic tutorial for the Matlab program which is a high-performance language for technical computing for platforms: - Linux, - MS Windows - Mac Feb 2018 MATLAB integrates computation, visualization, and programming in an easy-to-use environment where problems and solutions are expressed in familiar mathematical notation Typical uses include - Math and computation - Algorithm development - Data acquisition Modeling, - simulation, and prototyping - Data analysis, - Scientific and engineering graphics - Curve fitting - etc

2 Basic Commands * help command get help for a command * clear clears all the memory (workspace) * clear x removes variable x from the memory * whos lists all the variables (and details) on the workspace * Semicolon (;) at the will suppress the output * Command history: upper & lower arrows, also command name guess * If you don t use a variable name, your calculation is labeled and assigned by ans variable Variables >> x = 4; >> y = sqrt(x) + 2 y = 4 Arrays >> A = [ ]; >> B = [ ]; >> A*B ans = >> A/B ans = inf >> A^B ans = Complex Numbers >> z = 3 + 4i; >> abs(z) Matrices >> B = [1 2 3;0 5 6;7 8 9] B = >> det(b) ans = -24 >> v = 0:8 v = >> v = 0:2:8 v = >> g = [ ] >> g(4:) ans = >> a = [1 2 3]' a = Basic Statistics >> x = [ ]; >> sum(x) ans = >> mean(x) ans = >> std(x) ans = >> min(x) ans = 1 >> length(x) >> max(x) ans = >> [value index] = max(x) value = index = 4 >> inv(b) Ans = >> M = [1 2; 3 4]; >> N = [0 1; 8 5]; >> M*N ans = Special Matrices >> P = zeros(2,2) P = >> P = zeros(2,1) P = 0 0 >> Q = ones(2,2) Q = >> I = eye(2) % unit matrix I = >> rand(2,2) % random matrix ans =
