Introduction:
Matrix Laboratory
What is Matlab?
• MATLAB® is a high-performance language for technical computing. It
integrates computation, visualization, and programming in an easy-to-use
environment where problems and solutions are expressed in familiar
mathematical notation.
• Typical uses include Math and computation Algorithm Development Data
Acquisition Modeling, simulation, and prototyping Data analysis,
exploration, and visualization Scientific and engineering graphics
Application development, including graphical user interface building.
• The name MATLAB stands for matrix laboratory.
Why use MatLab?
Suppose that you are asked to evaluate
a complex mathematical functions ?
Your solution :
1. Calculate by hand
2. Use a calculator
3. use a C language
-
it will take time
your calculator, maybe.
But not all can be performed using a
calculator.
your C language, maybe.
But, requires several lines of
programming command.
Why use MatLab?
Suppose that the function to evaluate is ,
Using C language
main ()
{ float m;
m=1 –((87-20)/87)^10;
printf (“%f”,m);
}
Why use MatLab?
• MatLab is a powerful tool
• Excellent computation
ability.
• Easy to use.
MatLab
The most popular computer program
optimized to perform engineering
and scientific calculation.
MatLab
• It can perform mathematical
computing
• It gives visual results
• It can perform system modeling
• It has graphic user interface
Advantages of MatLab
• Easy to use
• Platform independence
• Predefined functions
• Device-independent plotting
• Graphic user interface
• MATLAB compiler
