MATLAB Tutorial

MATLAB is a programming language developed by MathWorks. It was originally a matrix programming language, with linear algebra programming being very simple. It can run in an interactive session or as a batch job. This tutorial actively introduces the MATLAB programming language. Its aim is to enable students to fluently use the MATLAB programming language. Based on problem-based MATLAB examples have been provided in a simple way to make your learning quick and effective.

MATLAB is a commercial mathematical software produced by the American company MathWorks, used in fields such as data analysis, wireless communication, deep learning, image processing and computer vision, signal processing, quantitative finance and risk management, robotics, control systems, and more.

MATLAB is a combination of the words 'matrix' and 'laboratory', meaning matrix factory (matrix laboratory), a high-tech computing environment mainly facing scientific computing, visualization, and interactive program design. It integrates many powerful functions such as numerical analysis, matrix computation, scientific data visualization, and modeling and simulation of nonlinear dynamic systems into an easy-to-use windowed environment, providing a comprehensive solution for a wide range of scientific fields such as scientific research, engineering design, and fields that require effective numerical calculations, and to a large extent, it frees itself from the editing mode of traditional non-interactive programming languages (such as C, Fortran).

MATLAB, along with Mathematica and Maple, is known as the three major mathematical software. It is the leader in numerical computation among mathematical science and technology application software. It can perform matrix operations, plot functions and data, implement algorithms, create user interfaces, connect programs of other programming languages, and so on. The basic data unit of MATLAB is the matrix, and its instruction expression is very similar to the forms commonly used in mathematics and engineering, so it is much more concise to solve problems with MATLAB than with languages such as C, FORTRAN, and so on. Moreover, MATLAB has absorbed the advantages of software like Maple, making MATLAB a powerful mathematical software. In the new versions, it also includes support for C, FORTRAN, C++, with support for JAVA.

Suitable for

This tutorial is prepared for beginners to help them understand the basic to advanced features of MATLAB. After completing this tutorial, you will find that you have a moderate level of professional knowledge in using MATLAB, from which you can enter higher levels.

Prerequisites

We assume that you have some understanding of computer programming and concepts such as variables, constants, expressions, and statements. If you have already used other advanced programming languages (such as C, C++), ++If you have programmed in languages such as C, C++ (or Java), it will be very helpful. It is very beneficial, learning MATLAB will be very interesting for you.
