1 Introduction to MATLAB

What is MATLAB?

The basic building block in MATLAB is the matrix. The fundamental data type is the array. In mathematical computations, especially those that utilize vectors and matrices, MATLAB is better in terms of ease of use, availability of built-in functions, ease of programming, and speed. There are numerous prepared commands for 2D and 3D graphics as well as for animation.

2 History of MATLAB

Cleve Moler, the chairman of the computer science department at the University of New Mexico, started developing MATLAB in the late 1970s (Fortran). Jack Little, an engineer, was exposed to it during a visit Moler made to Stanford University in 1983. He wrote MATLAB in C and founded MathWorks in 1984 to continue its development. In 2000, MATLAB was rewritten to use a newer set of libraries for matrix manipulation.

6 Using MATLAB as a calculator

Table below gives the partial list of commonly used MATLAB operators and special characters used to solve many engineering and science problems.

35

7 Creating MATLAB variables

MATLAB variables are created with an assignment statement. The syntax of variable assignment is variable name = a value (or an expression) For example, >> x = expression where expression is a combination of numerical values, mathematical operators, variables, and function calls.

36

8 Overwriting variable

Once a variable has been created, it can be reassigned. In addition, if you do not wish to see the intermediate results, you can suppress the numerical output by putting a semicolon (;) at the end of the line. Then the sequence of commands looks like this: >> t = 5; >> t = t+1 t = 6

37

9 Error messages

If we enter an expression incorrectly, MATLAB will return an error message. For example, in the following, we left out the multiplication sign, *, in the following expression >> x = 10; >> 5x ??? 5x | Error: Unexpected MATLAB expression.

38

10 Making corrections

To make corrections, we can, of course retype the expressions. But if the expression is lengthy, we make more mistakes by typing a second time. A previously typed command can be recalled with the uparrow key . When the command is displayed at the command prompt, it can be modified if needed and executed.

39

11 Controlling the hierarchy of operations or precedence

The Table shown the hierarchy of arithmetic operations is given as follows:

40

12 Controlling the appearance of floating point number

Use the format function to control the output format of numeric values displayed in the Command Window. MATLAB by default displays only 4 decimals in the result of the calculations, for example 163.6667.

41

12 Controlling the appearance of floating point number

However, MATLAB has different formats together with the resulting outputs.

42

13 Mathematical functions

MATLAB offers many predefined mathematical functions for technical computing which contains a large set of mathematical functions. There is a long list of mathematical functions that are built into MATLAB. These functions are called built-ins. Many standard mathematical functions, such as sin(x), cos(x), tan(x), ex, ln(x), are evaluated by the functions sin, cos, tan, exp, and log respectively in MATLAB.

13 Mathematical functions

In addition to the elementary functions, MATLAB includes a number of predefined constant values.

45

13 Mathematical functions
Notes: Only use built-in functions on the right hand side of an expression. Reassigning the value to a built-in function can create problems. There are some exceptions. For example, i and j are preassigned to sqrt(-1). However one or both of i or j are often used as loop indices. To avoid any possible confusion, it is suggested to use instead ii or jj as loop indices.

MATLAB has an excellent set of graphic tools.


Plotting a given data set or the results of computation is possible with very few commands. You are highly encouraged to plot mathematical functions and results of analysis as often as possible. Trying to understand mathematical equations with graphics is an enjoyable and very efficient way of learning mathematics. Being able to plot mathematical functions and data freely is the most important step, and this section is written to assist you to do just that.

Overview Creating simple plots Adding titles, labels, and annotations Multiple data sets in one plot Specifying line styles and colors Copy/Paste Figures Saving Figures

The basic MATLAB graphing procedure, for example in 2D, is to take a vector of xcoordinates, x = (x1, . . . , xN ), and a vector of y-coordinates, y = (y1, . . . , yN ), locate the points (xi, yi), with i = 1, 2, . . . , n and then join them by straight lines. You need to prepare x and y in an identical array form; namely, x and y are both row arrays or column arrays of the same length.
The MATLAB command to plot a graph is plot(x,y). The vectors x = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) and y = (3, 1, 2, 4, 5, 1) produce the picture shown in Figure below. >> x = [1 2 3 4 5 6]; >> y = [3 -1 2 4 5 1];

>> plot(x,y)

Note:
The plot functions has different forms depending on the input arguments. If y is a vector, plot(y) produces a piecewise linear graph of the elements of y versus the index of the elements of y.

If we specify two vectors, as mentioned above, plot(x,y) produces a graph of y versus x.

For example, to plot the function sin (x) on the interval [0, 2], we first create a vector of x values ranging from 0 to 2, then compute the sine of these values, and finally plot the result:
>> x = 0:pi/100:2*pi; >> y = sin(x); >> plot(x,y)

Notes:
0:pi/100:2*pi yields a vector that starts at 0, takes steps (or increments) of /100, stops when 2 is reached. If you omit the increment, MATLAB automatically increments by 1.

15 Working with Matrices


Matrices are the basic elements of the MATLAB environment. A matrix is a two-dimensional array consisting of m rows and n columns. Special cases are column vectors (n = 1) and row vectors (m = 1). The following topics are discussed: vectors and matrices in MATLAB, the inverse of a matrix, determinants, and matrix manipulation. MATLAB supports two types of operations, known as matrix operations and array operations. Matrix operations will be discussed first.

A vector is a special case of a matrix. An array of dimension 1 n is called a row vector, whereas an array of dimension m 1 is called a column vector. The elements of vectors in MATLAB are enclosed by square brackets and are separated by spaces or by commas. For example, to enter a row vector, v, type >> v = 1 4 7 10 13 [1 4 v= 7 10 13]

71

15 Working with Matrices

Column vectors are created in a similar way, however, semicolon (;) must separate the components of a column vector,

>> w = [1;4;7;10;13] w= 1 4 7 10 13

72

15 Working with Matrices

On the other hand, a row vector is converted to a column vector using the transpose operator. The transpose operation is denoted by an apostrophe or a single quote ().

>> w = v w= 1 4 7 10 13

73

15 Working with Matrices


Entering a vector Entering a matrix Matrix indexing Colon operator Linear spacing Colon operator in a matrix Creating a sub-matrix

Thus, v(1) is the first element of vector v, v(2) its second element, and so forth. Furthermore, to access blocks of elements, we use MATLABs colon notation (:).

For example, to access the first three elements of v, we write,


Or, all elements from the third through the last elements, >> v(1:3) ans = 1 4 7 >> v(3:end) ans =7 10 13 where end signifies the last element in the vector.

74

15 Working with Matrices

If v is a vector, writing >> v(:) produces a column vector, whereas writing >> v(1:end) produces a row vector.

75

A matrix is an array of numbers. To type a matrix into MATLAB you must begin with a square bracket, [ separate elements in a row with spaces or commas (,) use a semicolon (;) to separate rows end the matrix with another square bracket, ].

76

Here is a typical example. To enter a matrix A, such as, type, >> A = [1 2 3; 4 5 6; 7 8 9] MATLAB then displays the 3 3 matrix as follows, A = 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

77

15 Working with Matrices

Note that the use of semicolons (;) here is different from their use mentioned earlier to suppress output or to write multiple commands in a single line.

Once we have entered the matrix, it is automatically stored and remembered in the Workspace.
We can refer to it simply as matrix A. We can then view a particular element in a matrix by specifying its location. We write,

>> A(2,1)
ans = 4 A(2,1) is an element located in the second row and first column. Its value is 4.

78

15 Working with Matrices


Entering a vector Entering a matrix Matrix indexing Colon operator Linear spacing Colon operator in a matrix Creating a sub-matrix

We select elements in a matrix just as we did for vectors, but now we need two indices.

The element of row i and column j of the matrix A is denoted by A(i,j). Thus, A(i,j) in MATLAB refers to the element Aij of matrix A. The first index is the row number and the second index is the column number.
For example, A(1,3) is an element of first row and third column. Here, A(1,3)=3. Correcting any entry is easy through indexing. Here we substitute A(3,3)=9 by A(3,3)=0. The result is >> A(3,3) = 0 Single elements of a matrix are accessed as A(i,j), where i 1 and j 1. Zero or negative subscripts are not supported in MATLAB.

The colon operator will prove very useful and understanding how it works is the key to efficient and convenient usage of MATLAB. It occurs in several different forms.

Often we must deal with matrices or vectors that are too large to enter one element at a time.
For example, suppose we want to enter a vector x consisting of points (0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, , 5). We can use the command >> x = 0:0.1:5; The row vector has 51 elements.

80

Entering a vector Entering a matrix Matrix indexing Colon operator Linear spacing Colon operator in a matrix Creating a sub-matrix

On the other hand, there is a command to generate linearly spaced vectors: linspace. It is similar to the colon operator (:), but gives direct control over the number of points. For example, y = linspace(a,b) generates a row vector y of 100 points linearly spaced between and including a and b. y = linspace(a,b,n)

generates a row vector y of n points linearly spaced between and including a and b.

81

When we want to divide an interval into a number of sub-intervals of the same length. For example, >> theta = linspace(0,2*pi,101) divides the interval [0, 2] into 100 equal subintervals, then creating a vector of 101 elements.

82

The colon operator can also be used to pick out a certain row or column. For example, the statement A(m:n,k:l specifies rows m to n and column k to l. Subscript expressions refer to portions of a matrix. For example, >> A(2,:) ans = 4 5 6 is the second row elements of A.

83

The colon operator can also be used to extract a sub-matrix from a matrix A. >> A(:,2:3) ans = 2 3 5 6 8 9 A(:,2:3) is a sub-matrix with the last two columns of A.

The submatrix comprising the intersection of rows p to q and columns r to s is denoted by A(p:q,r:s).

As a special case, a colon (:) as the row or column specifier covers all entries in that row or column; thus
A(:,j) is the jth column of A, while A(i,:) is the ith row,

A(end,:) picks out the last row of A.


The keyword end, used in A(end,:), denotes the last index in the specified dimension.

17 Solving linear equations


One of the problems encountered most frequently in scientific computation is the solution of systems of simultaneous linear equations. With matrix notation, a system of simultaneous linear equations is written Ax = b where there are as many equations as unknown. A is a given square matrix of order n, b is a given column vector of n components, and x is an unknown column vector of n components. In linear algebra we learn that the solution to Ax = b can be written as x = A1b, where A1 is the inverse of A.

108

17 Solving linear equations


For example, consider the following system of linear equations

The coefficient matrix A is

With matrix notation, a system of simultaneous linear equations is written Ax = b This equation can be solved for x using linear algebra. The result is x = A1b.

109

17 Solving linear equations

There are typically two ways to solve for x in MATLAB:


1. The first one is to use the matrix inverse, inv. >> A = [1 2 3; 4 5 6; 7 8 0]; >> b = [1; 1; 1]; >> x = inv(A)*b x = -1.0000

1.0000
-0.0000

110

17 Solving linear equations

There are typically two ways to solve for x in MATLAB:


2. The second one is to use the backslash (\)operator. The numerical algorithm behind this operator is computationally efficient. This is a numerically reliable way of solving system of linear equations by using a well-known process of Gaussian elimination. >> A = [1 2 3; 4 5 6; 7 8 0]; >> b = [1; 1; 1]; >> x = A\b x = -1.0000 1.0000 -0.0000

18 Introduction

to programming in MATLAB

The commands entered in the Command Window cannot be saved and executed again for several times. Therefore, a different way of executing repeatedly commands with MATLAB is: 1. to create a file with a list of commands, 2. save the file, and 3. run the file. If needed, corrections or changes can be made to the commands in the file. The files that are used for this purpose are called script files or scripts for short. This section covers the following topics: 1. M-File Scripts 2. M-File Functions

19 Control flow
MATLAB is also a programming language. Like other computer programming languages, MATLAB has some decision making structures for control of command execution. These decision making or control flow structures include for loops, while loops, and if-else-end constructions. Control flow structures are often used in script M-files and function Mfiles. By creating a file with the extension .m, we can easily write and run programs. We do not need to compile the program since MATLAB is an interpretative (not compiled) language. MATLAB has thousand of functions, and you can add your own using m-files.
