A MATLAB Tutorial in pdf

MATLAB is an interactive software package which was developed to perform numerical calculations on vectors and matrices. Initially, it was simply a MATrix LABoratory. However, today it is much more powerful:

• It can do quite sophisticated graphics in two and three dimensions.
• It contains a high-level programming language (a “baby C”) which makes it quite easy to code complicated algorithms involving vectors and matrices.
• It can numerically solve nonlinear initial-value ordinary differential equations.
• It can numerically solve nonlinear boundary-value ordinary differential equations.
• It contains a wide variety of toolboxes which allow it to perform a wide range of applications from science and engineering. Since users can write their own toolboxes, the breadth of applications is quite amazing.
