INTRODUCTION:
MATLAB stands for MATRIX LABORATORY. MATLAB is a high-performance
language for technical computing. It integrates computation, visualization, and
programming environment. MATLAB is a modern programming language environment:
it has sophisticated data structures, contains built-in editing and debugging tools, and
supports object-oriented programming. These factors make MATLAB an excellent tool
for teaching and research.
MATLAB is an interactive system whose basic data element is an array
that does not require dimensioning.
It has powerful built-in routines that enable a very wide variety of
computations. It
Also has easy to use graphics commands that make the visualization of
results immediately available. Specific applications are collected in packages
referred to as toolbox. There are toolboxes for signal processing, symbolic
computation, control theory, simulation, optimization, and several other
fields of applied science and engineering.

MATLAB BASICS:
A. DEFINITION OF VARIABLES:
1. a = 1 + 2
Yields: a = 3

2. b = 2 * a;
Yields: b = 6

3. y = 2 * (1 + 4 * j)
Yields: 2.0000 + 8.0000i

4. y = 2 * (1 + 4 * j)
c = abs(y)
Yields: c = 8.2462
d = angle(y)
Yields: c = 1.3258

5. a = 3;
c = cos (a)
Yields: -0.9900
c= exp (a)

Yields: 20.0855

B. DEFINITION OF MATRICES:
1. v = [1 3 5 7]

2. v = [1 3 5 7];
v(5) = 8

3. v = [1 3 5 7];
a = [9 10];
b = [v a]
Yields: b = [1 3 5 7 9 10]

4. M =[1 2 4;3 6 8]
1 2 4
Yields: M = 3 6 8

5. a = [1 2 3];
b = [4 5 6];
c=a+b
Yields: c =

5 7 9

6. t = 0:10;
x = cos (2*t)
Yields: x = 1.0000 -0.4161 -0.6536
-0.9577 0.6603 0.4081

7. t = 0:10;
x = t.*cos(t)
Yields: x = 0 0.5403 -0.8323
-1.1640 -8.2002 -8.3907
