Familiarization with Matlab Environment, Built-in Functions, Matrices and Plotting
1. Objective(s):
The activity aims to familiarize the students with matlab environment, built-in functions, matrices
and plotting.
2. Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs):
The students shall be able to:
2.1 Get acquainted with matlab environment and its various features.
2.2 Understand the built-in functions of matlab.
2.3 Operate on the matrices.
2.4 Plot different graphs using matlab.
3. Discussion:
Matlab is a powerful language for technical computing. Its basic data element is matrix (array).It
can be used for math computations, modeling and simulations, data analysis and processing,
visualization and graphics, and algorithm development.
The standard Matlab program has tools (functions) that can be used to solve common problems.
The array is a fundamental form that Matlab uses to store and manipulate data. An array is a list
of numbers arrange in rows or in columns. The simplest array (one-dimensional) is a row, or a column of
numbers. A more complex array (two-dimensional) is a collection of numbers arranged in rows and
columns. One use of array is to store information and data, as in a table. In science and engineering,
one-dimensional arrays frequently represent vectors and two-dimensional arrays represent matrices.
Once variables are created in Matlab they can be used in a wide variety of mathematical
operations. Matlab is designed to carry out advanced array operations that have many applications in
science and engineering. Addition and subtraction are simple operations. The other basic operations,
multiplication, division and exponentiation can be done in Matlab in two different ways. One way, which
uses the standard symbols (*,/ and ^), follows the rules of linear algebra. The second way, which is called
element-by-element operations, uses the symbols .*,./ and .^ ( a period is typed in front of the standard
operation symbol).In both types of calculations, Matlab has left division operator (.\ or \).
4. Resources:

1.
Window
Purpose
Command History
View a log of or search for the statements you entered in the
Command Window, copy them, execute them, and more.
Command Window
Run MATLAB language statements.
Current Directory Browser
View files, perform file operations such as open, find files and file
content, and manage and tune your files.
Editor
Create, edit, debug, and analyze M-files (files containing
MATLAB language statements).
Figures
Create, modify, view, and print figures generated with MATLAB.
Help Browser
View and search the documentation and demos for all your
MathWorks products.

Symbol
Purpose
Generates a sequence of numbers that you can use in creating
or indexing into arrays
A comma is used to separate the following types of elements.
{}
Construct or get the contents of cell arrays
Constructor symbol for MATLAB character arrays
/\
Separate the elements of a path or folder string
Indicate nonexecutable text within the body of a program
Precedes operating system commands that you want to execute
from within MATLAB
()
Used mostly for indexing into elements of an array or for
specifying arguments passed to a called function. Parenthesis
also control the order of operations, and can group a vector
visually (such as x = (1:10)) without calling a concatenation
function.
