Signals & Systems Introduction To MATLAB

This document provides an introduction to MATLAB. It outlines what MATLAB is, where it can be used, and how to use it. MATLAB is an interactive program for doing numerical calculations, matrix operations, plotting graphs, solving differential equations, and more. It is available for use on computers in the university computer center and classrooms, and can be accessed remotely through a virtual private network. The document describes how to access and use basic MATLAB functions, write m-files, use plotting and flow control commands, and provides an overview of the first homework assignment.

What is MATLAB?
 MATLAB is an interactive environment in w
hich you can write programs to do many p
owerful calculation.
• Number calculation
• Matrix calculation
• Plots and/or sketches of mathematical graphs
• Symbolic calculation
• Differential Equations
• Blablabla…
Where to use MATLAB?
 The MathWorks, Inc. sells MATLAB.
• If you are rich, then you may use it at home.
• If you are poor…?
 Fortunately, this university is rich.
• You can use MATLAB at Computer Center.
 MATLAB is installed in every computer in every comp
uter classroom in CC Building.
 MATLAB is installed in every computer in EEII107.
 Also, you can connect to the Soft-Bank provided by C
omputer Center to access MATLAB remotely, given yo
ur IP is 140.112.x.x .
• http://softbank.cc.ntu.edu.tw/
• Only 6 licenses available. DON’T OCCUPY the resource.

How to use MATLAB?
 If you are using MATLAB from Soft-
Bank, just click it on.
 If you are using MATLAB in the

computer classroom in CC, select


Start -> Programs -> MATLAB ->
MATLAB will turn on MATLAB.
How to use MATLAB?
 You will have to know the path wher
e MATLAB is installed. In CC, it is inst
alled in C:\Program Files\MATLAB .
• All of your programs in MATLAB should
be put into C:\Program Files\MATLAB\w
ork in order to use the file.
How to use MATLAB?
 First test
• Simple calculation +, -, *, /, ^, mod()
• Operators
• Use help
 Variables
• No need to declare. Just use it.
• DO NOT use variable i and j. They are
imaginary numbers.
 Matrices
• Use of squared bracket [ ]
• * vs. .*; / vs. ./
How to use MATLAB?
 The use of operator :
 plot(), stem(), subplot()

 Flow Control

• if… elseif… else… end


• switch… case… otherwise… end
• for, while, continue, break
How to use MATLAB?
 m-file: a batch of MATLAB command
• You can edit an m-file and save it in the
work folder
• Use it as a command
How to use MATLAB?
 If you want to plot a lot of graphs…
• subplot()
• figure()
• pause
How to use MATLAB?
 Functions in MATLAB
• You’d better to use one m-file with one f
unction.
• syntax: function y = foo()
 Some useful function
• zeros()
• ones()
Homework 1
 Download the .pdf file and the .zip file with
m-files inside.
 Pick m-files from the .zip file.
 Follow the instructions inside the .pdf file t
o construct one proper m-file.
 Do discussion with the results in a .pdf file.
• You may do discussion in Word 2007 then save
it as a .pdf file.
 Compress the discussion and the m-file int
o one .zip/.rar file.
 Upload the compressed file to the website.
