Matlab Introduction

This document provides an introduction to MATLAB. It discusses that MATLAB is a numerical computing environment and programming language. It was created in the 1970s by Cleve Moler to give students access to software for linear algebra and numerical analysis. The document outlines MATLAB's main features, which include its simple programming syntax, extensive math and visualization tools, and ability to link to other languages. It also describes how to start a MATLAB session and the basic windows used, such as the command window and workspace browser. Finally, it discusses some common uses of MATLAB in fields like mathematics, modeling, and data analysis.

INTRODUCTION TO MATLAB
WHAT IS MATLAB ?
MATLAB is a high-performance language for numerical
computation, visualization, and programming. MATLAB
stands for MATRIX LABORATORY.

Matlab

High Level
Languages such as
C, Pascal etc.

Assembly

A high-level programming language is a programing language with


strong abstraction from the details of the computer.
HISTORY OF MATLAB
Cleve Moler, a numerical analyst specializing in
matrix computation of Computer-Science
Department, University of New Mexico is the
creator of MATLAB. He started developing
MATLAB in 1970s. He designed it to give his
students access to LINPACK ( a software library
for performing numerical linear algebra on
digital computers) and EISPACK (a
software library for numerical computation of
eigenvalues and eigenvectors of matrices,
written in FORTRAN) without them having to
HISTORY OF MATLAB
The original MATLAB was a FORTRAN program
and Moler used the FORTRAN MATLAB in
teaching numerical analysis at Stanford in 1979.
Jack Little and Steve Bangert developed PC
MATLAB by porting Moler's code from
FORTRAN to C, adding user-defined functions
improved graphics, and libraries of MATLAB
routines, the toolboxes. In 2000, MATLAB was
rewritten to use a newer set of libraries for
matrix manipulation, LAPACK (Linear Algebra
Package).

capability
THE MATLAB SYSTEM

MATLAB system consists of these main parts:


 Desktop Tools and Development Environment
• Includes the MATLAB desktop and Command Window,
an editor and debugger, a code analyzer, browsers for
viewing help, the workspace, files, and other tools
 Mathematical Function Library

• Vast collection of computational algorithms ranging


from elementary functions, like sine, cosine, and
complex arithmetic, to more sophisticated functions
like matrix inverse, matrix eigenvalues, Bessel
functions, and Fast Fourier transforms and etc.
 The Language
 The MATLAB language is a high-level matrix/array language
with control flow statements, functions, data structures,
input/output, and object-oriented programming features.
 Graphics
 MATLAB has extensive facilities for displaying vectors and
matrices as graphs, as well as editing and printing these
graphs. It also includes functions that allow you to customize
the appearance of graphics as well as build complete
graphical user interfaces on your MATLAB applications.
 External Interfaces
 The external interfaces library allows you to write C and
Fortran programs that interact with MATLAB.
