MATLAB Manual

MATLAB is a numerical computing environment and programming language used for scientific computing. It allows for easy matrix and complex arithmetic operations as well as two and three dimensional plotting. MATLAB can execute commands interactively or in batch mode by running scripts saved with a .m file extension. The MATLAB environment consists of a command window, editor, and debugger to help develop and test algorithms.

1. What is MATLAB? It is a Programming Language for Scientific Computing.

It is a Numerical Computing Environment where you can test or implement algorithms. It is Software which runs on Windows/Mac OS/Linux. The name stands for MATrix LABoratory of Maths Works Inc. MATLab is both a powerful computational environment and a programming language that easily handles matrix and complex arithmetic. It is a large software package that has many advanced features built-in, and it has become a standard tool for many working in science or engineering disciplines and it allows easy plotting in both two and three dimensions. MATLab has two different methods for executing commands: interactive mode and batch mode. In interactive mode, commands are typed (or cut-and-pasted) into the 'command window'. In batch mode, a series of commands are saved in a text file (either using Matlab's built-in editor, or another text editor such as notepad) with a '.m' extension. The batch commands in a file are then executed by typing the name of the file at the Matlab command prompt. The advantage of using a '.m' file is that we can make small changes to our code (even in different Matlab sessions) without having to remember and retype the entire set of commands. Also, when using Matlab's built-in editor, there are simple debugging tools that can be useful when your programs start getting large and complicated. 2 The MATLAB Environment The MATLAB Environment consists of the following main parts:

In place of MATLAB can also use: Scilab Free, cross--platform, similar to Matlab Freemat Free, cross--platform, similar to Matlab Python Free, cross--platform, different grammar, high efficiency, various libraries, popular, can be packaged to .exe files
