1.0 MATLAB - Introduction


MATLAB stands for 'MATrix LABoratory'. Its basic data element is matrix. MATLAB
is powerful in numerical computation and visualization. With its matrix-based
techniques problems can be solved easily without having to write detailed program
codes as in traditional languages like C, Basic and Fortran. Under its easy to use
environment, MATLAB has the capability to perform numerical analysis, matrix
computation, signal processing, and plant controls. MATLAB also has a superb
graphical display feature.
1.1 MATLAB Version
The lessons in this book will be carried out in MATLAB Version 5.2. The earlier
versions are MATLAB 4.2 and MATLAB 5.1.
1.2 Access to MATLAB
There are several ways to open MATLAB.
a) From the Start icon at the bottom of the screen of Windows.
After clicking the Start icon, you will then need to select MATLAB.
