A Glimpse of Matlab: Dr. V.P.M. Senthil Nayaki PSNA College of Engineering and Technology Dindigul

This document provides an introduction to MATLAB, a numerical computing environment and programming language. MATLAB was initially developed for solving linear algebra problems using matrices, but is now used in a wide range of applications including signal processing, image processing, control systems, and more. The document outlines some of MATLAB's key windows like the Command Window, Workspace, and Command History. It also notes important points about using MATLAB like using the enter key to execute commands and semicolons to suppress output, and lists some shortcut keys.

A GLIMPSE OF MATLAB

By

Dr. V.P.M. Senthil Nayaki


Associate Porfessor/Mathematics
PSNA College of Engineering and Technology
Dindigul
Introduction
MATLAB (MATrix LABoratory) is a high-level language and
interactive environment for numerical computation, programming,
and visualization

Initially developed for solving Linear Algebra type problems


using matrices

MATLAB used for a range of applications, including signal


processing and communications, image and video processing,
control systems, test and measurement, computational finance, and
computational biology.
Introduction continues….

To start MATLAB, double-click the MATLAB icon on the


desktop
When MATLAB starts, the following default layout will appear
Command Window
To type commands

Workspace
To view program variables

Command History
To view past commands
To save a whole session using Diary
Some other Windows

Launch Pad Window – provides access to tools and demos

Current Directory window – shows files in current


directory

Figure Window – contains output from Graphic command

Help window – provides help information

Editor Window – creates and debugs script and function files


Points to Remember:
When the ENTER key is pressed, the statement is executed

If a statement is terminated with a semicolon(;), no results will be


displayed

clc - clear the command window

clear – it removes all variables in MATLAB memory


Shortcut keys
