Matrix Laboratory
Problem-Solving Methodology







State the problem clearly
Describe the Input/Output (I/O)
Work the problem by hand

Develop a MATLAB Solution

Documentation
Why MATLAB?






Industry standard software application
Wealth of built-in functions and libraries
Toolboxes (add-on software modules) – image and
signal processing, control systems design, fuzzy
logic, etc.
Has own structured programming language
Ease of application and testing (pre- and postprocessing without lots of programming and
formatting)
Platform independent
MATLAB


MATLAB is a numerical analysis system
Can write “programs”, but they are not
formally compiled

Should still use structured programming

Should still use comments

Comments are indicated by “%” at the
beginning of the line
Program Documentation
Comments!!!

You must include comments in the
computer programs you turn in -otherwise we will have great difficulty
knowing what you are doing
For example, here is some cryptic
code without comment
for j=0:2
k=(2-j)*(1+3*j)/2
end
What does it do?
Put a comment in
% turns (0,1,2) into (1,2,0)
MATLAB Windows



Command Window
-- enter commands and data
-- print results
Graphics Window
-- display plots and graphs
Edit Window
-- create and modify m-files
Managing MATLAB Environment








who or whos -- See the current runtime environment
clear -- remove all variables from memory
clc -- clear the command window
clf -- clear the graphics window
save -- save the workspace environment
load -- restore workspace from a disk file
abort -- CTRL-C
help -- help “command”
Really good “help” command
MATLAB Syntax

No complicated rules

Perhaps the most important thing to
remember is semicolons (;) at the end of
a line to suppress output



Type “more on” to keep text from
leaving screen too fast
diary “filename” saves a text record of
session
diary off turns it off
MATLAB

MATLAB’s basic component is a Vector or
Matrix

Even single value variables (Scalars)

All operations are optimized for vector use

Loops run slower in MATLAB than in
Fortran (not a vector operation)

“size” command gives size of the matrix
Scalars, Vectors, Matrices





MATLAB treat variables as “matrices”
Matrix (m  n) - a set of numbers arranged in
rows (m) and columns (n)
Scalar: 1  1 matrix
Row Vector: 1  n matrix
Column Vector: m  1 matrix

Complex variables



MATLAB handles complex arithmetic automatically
No need to compute real and imaginary parts
separately
The unit imaginary number i =  1 is preassigned
» x=5+2*i
x =
5.0000 + 2.0000i
» y=5*x+3
y =
28.0000 +10.0000i
MATLAB Example
» x=3+5-0.2
x =
7.8000
» y=3*x^2+5
y =
187.5200
» z=x*sqrt(y)
z =
106.8116
» A=[1 2 3; 4 5 6]
A =

Data types

All numbers are double precision

Text is stored as arrays of characters


You don’t have to declare the type of
data (defined when running)
MATLAB is case-sensitive!!!
Variable Names




Usually, the name is identified with the problem
Variable names may consist of up to 31 characters
Variable names may be alphabetic, digits, and the
underscore character ( _ )
Variable names must start with a letter
ABC, A1, C56, CVEN_302
day, year, iteration, max
time, velocity, distance, area, density, pressure
Time, TIME, time (case sensitive!!)
Initializing Variables




Explicitly list the values
reads from a data file
uses the colon (:) operator
reads from the keyboard
A = [1; 3; 5; 10];
C = [2 3 5 1; 0 1 …
B = [1 3 5; -6 4 -1]
(continuation)
1 -2; 3 5 1 -3]
E = [A; 1; A];
F = [C(2,3); A]

Example: x = (a + b*c)/d^2
count = count + 1
a\b
a  b; a  b
Order of Precedence of
Arithmetic Operations
1. Parentheses, starting with the innermost pair
2. Exponentiation, from left to right
3. Multiplication and division with equal precedence,
from left to right
4. Addition and subtraction with equal precedence,
from left to right
Examples: factor = 1 + b/v + c/v^2
slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
loss = f * length/dia * (1/2 * rho * v^2)
func = 1 + 0.5*(3*x^4 + (x + 2/x)^2)
Order of Precedence of
Arithmetic Operations
 The priority order can be overridden with parentheses
» a=3; b=5; c=2;
» y = -7.3^2
» s1 = a-b*c
y =
s1 =
-7
» s2=(a-b)*c
s2 =
-53.2900
» y=(-7.3)^2
y =
53.2900
-4
Multiplication has higher
priority than subtraction
Exponentiation has higher
priority than negation
Array Operations

An array operation is performed
element-by-element
C(1)  A(1) * B(1);
C(2)  A(2) * B(2);
C(3)  A(3) * B(3);
C(4)  A(4) * B(4);
C(5)  A(5) * B(5);

MATLAB Graphics



One of the best things about MATLAB is
interactive graphics
“plot” is the one you will be using most often
Many other 3D plotting functions -- plot3,
mesh, surfc, etc.

Use “help plot” for plotting options

To get a new figure, use “figure”

logarithmic plots available using semilogx,
semilogy and loglog
Plotting Commands
plot(x,y) defaults to a blue line
plot(x,y,’ro’) uses red circles
plot(x,y,’m*’) uses magenta asterisks
If you want to put two plots on the same
graph, use “hold on”
plot(a,b,’r:’)
hold on
plot(a,c,’ko’)
(red dotted line)
(black circles)
