ELEC-372: Numerical Methods and Optimization


Instructor: Saeed Gazor
Lab#1: Overview of MATLAB

MATLAB represents an interpreted array programming language as well as a vast collection of


engineering software tools and graphical interfaces used for the analysis, design and simulation
of systems. MATLAB is used in a growing number of disciplines related to Electrical and
Computer Engineering. It is used not only in Numerical Methods and Optimization (ELEC-372)
but also to support other course sequences in Signals and Systems (ELEC-323/324), Signal
Processing (ELEC-421/422), Communications at the physical layer (ELEC-461/464) as well as
Control and Robotic systems (ELEC-443/448). Other technical elective courses may use
MATLAB to some extent. The objective of MATLAB Labs is to offer concentrated practice and
experience in MATLAB. It is assumed that students do not have prior exposure to MATLAB but
are generally familiar with elementary linear algebra and procedural programming in a higher-
level language. Being offered inside a numerical method & optimization course, a secondary
objective is to provide MATLAB-based examples that illustrate concepts related to the outlines
of numerical methods and basic optimization techniques.

 Lab#1: Introduction of MATLAB (Self-directed tour under TA’s supervision)


The lab session covers the topic areas discussed in Lecture Notes (LN#2) such as MATLAB
expressions, Iteration, Scalar, Vector and Matrix operations, Complex numbers, Loops, Plots, and
writing .m file MATLAB programs.

Note: The Lab#1 has 2 sections containing 5 parts in total. The (expected) required time for each
part is highlighted (you may manage your time for providing & submitting your report).

Each group needs to submit one [see the example bellow].pdf report as the following format:
Group name (based on 4 members):
1- Your first name, Your last name, Your student id
2- Your first name, Your last name, Your student id
3- Your first name, your last name, Your student id
4- Your first name, your last name, Your student id

input and output (the screenshot for this is enough!)

DO NOT USE THE BUILT-IN FUNCTIONS in MATLAB for implementing the


Methods/Algorithms for this COURSE!

The file name for submission must be as the following format:


“Lab1_ [The first letters of your name and family names]”

Example:
Lab#1
1- Alice, Spring, 12345678
2- Bob, Winter, 01234567
3- Joe, Fall, 98765432

Name of the .pdf file for the submission would be: Lab1_ASBWJF.pdf

and convert it to the single precision IEEE-754 format.

Then, write another MATLAB function named “DP_format” to take a decimal value
as an input and convert it to the double precision IEEE-754 format.
