1 Introduction

Q Matlab is a language suitable for:


4 General technical computing
4 Mathematical and engineering applications
4 Development of algorithms
4 Modeling and simulation
4 Scientific and engineering graphical analysis
Q Main features
4 Interactive programming system
4 Basis is matrix computation
4 Comprehensive set of toolboxes
4 Availability of many textbooks on Matlab excercises
4 Availability of a student version
2 Basic Language Elements and
Concepts
Q Variables
4 No declarations or storage specification needed
4 Variables are case sensitive and can address an entire matrix
Q Number representation
4 Conventional decimal notation
4 Scientific notation using the letter ‘e’. Example: -12.34e+05
4 Letter ‘i’ or ‘j’ for imaginary numbers. Example: 1+5j
Q Operators
4 All conventional operators (including ^ for power operations)
4 Symbol ‘ for transform of row to line vectors and vice versa
Q Functions
4 Comprehensive set of advanced mathematical functions
4 Complex arguments allowed in many cases
3 Handling of Matrices I

Q Entering matrices by specification of all elements


4 Separation of elements using the blank character
4 Separations of rows using a semicolon
4 Example: A=[1 2 3;4 5 6]
Q Addressing matrix elements
4 Usual form for single elements: A(i,j)
4 Sub-matrix addressing using colons: A(k:l,m:n)
4 Addressing of a whole row or a whole line: A(i,:) or A(:,i)
Q Generation of matrix elements
4 Linearly spaced elements: A=linspace(0,2*pi,101)
4 Second possibility: A=(0:1/100:1)*2*pi
4 Logarithmically spaced elements: A=logspace(-2,0,101)* 2*pi
3 Handling of Matrices II

Q Generation of special matrices (Dimensions: N x M)


4 Matrix containing only zeros: A=zeros(N,M)
4 Matrix containing only ones: A=ones(N,M)
4 Matrix with uniformly distributed elements: A=rand(N,M)
4 Matrix with Gaussian (normally) distributed elements:
A=randn(N,M)
Q Concatenation and deletion of matrices
4 Specification of entire matrix as part of another: C=[A B]
4 Deletion operation for a row or a column: A(i,:)=[]
Q Rearranging a matrix
4 Usage of transpose operator: B=A’
4 Thereby rows are converted to columns and vice versa
3 Handling of Matrices III

Q Scalar-array mathematics
4 Matrices can be scaled in a simple manner. Example: B=2*A-1
Q Element-by-element operations
4 Usual notation for addition and substraction: D=A+B-C
4 Dot usage for multiplication and division: D=A.*B./C
4 Dot usage for specifying the squaring operation: B=A.^2
4 Example for application of functions: B=sin(A)
Q Notation for normal matrix operations
4 No dot is used here: C=A*B
4 Essential restriction: Number of columns and rows must match
4 Plotting

Q Typical sequence for line plotting:


t=0:0.001:1 %Definition range set for x from 0 to 1
plot (t,sin(2*pi*t)) %Plots one period of sine function
zoom xon
grid on
title('signal s(t)')
xlabel('Time t')
Q Other plotting control elements
4 Subplots are possible using the subplot() command
4 Forcing the scale can be performed using the axes() command
Q Additional plotting tools
4 Hidden line and surface plots
4 Special colouring of surface plots and line plots is possible
5 Flow control

Q Usual set of flow control commands just as in other languages


Q Example for the notation of the ‘for-loop’:
for i=1:10
command1
command2
end
Q Notation for the ‘while-loop’: Similar to ‘for-loop’
Q Notation for the ‘if-then-else’ structure:
if expression
command
else
command
end
6 Other frequently used Functions

Q Semicolon for display suppression


Q Character ‘%’ for commenting in line
Q min() and max() operations work on an entire vector or matrix
Q length() function determines numbers of vector elements
Q FFT and inverse FFT operations are available
Q abs() and angle() functions can be used on complex values
Q real() and imag() functions are also available
Q Comprehensive help function gives detailed description
Q This description explains the use, the applied algorithm and
includes examples
7 Conclusion

Q Matlab exhibits elements of interpreter-type language


Q Use of matrix notation needs some training
Q Powerful set of mathematical and engineering functions
Q High degree of support available in the web
Q This results in very efficient handling of engineering and
mathematical problems!
