Introduction to MATLAB
1. Objectives
Familiarities with MATLAB interface.
Understanding basic features of MATLAB.
Basic programming techniques.
2. Overview
MATLAB developed by The MathWorks Inc. stands for MATrix LABoratory. It is a
software package used to perform scientific computations and visualization. Its capability for
analysis of various scientific problems, flexibility and powerful graphics makes it a very useful
software package. It provides an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for programming
with numerous predefined functions for technical computations and visualization. Besides
available built‐in functions, user‐defined functions can also be included which can be used just
like any other built‐n function.
2.1 Getting Started
If you don’t know anything about MATLAB, then MATLAB help is the best way to learn
about something. In the command window of MATLAB simply write ‘help’;
>> help ↵
It will display list of all toolboxes included in MATLAB. Then by investigating the name of
toolbox or the name of a function, which you would like to learn how to use, use the ‘help’
command:
>> help functionname ↵
