Introduction To Matlab: Hasitha Nayanajith

This document provides an introduction and overview of MATLAB. It discusses what MATLAB is, which is a numerical computing environment and programming language. It then describes some of MATLAB's basic desktop tools like the command window and workspace. It also outlines some common operators in MATLAB like those for arithmetic, relational logic, and vectors. Finally, it gives examples of how to use MATLAB for tasks like plotting graphs, working with matrices and arrays, basic statistics, and solving ordinary differential equations.

What is Matlab

MATLAB (for matrix laboratory) is a numerical
computing environment and fourth-generation
programming language. Developed by MathWorks,
MATLAB allows matrix manipulations, plotting
of functions and data, implementation of algorithms,
creation of user interfaces, and interfacing with
programs written in other languages,
including C, C++, and Fortran.
Desktop Tools (Matlab v6)

• Command Window
– type commands

• Workspace
– view program variables
– clear to clear
– double click on a variable
to see it in the Array Editor

• Command History
– view past commands
– save a whole session using
diary
Operators (arithmetic)
