Introduction to MATLAB 7.ppt

Introduction to MATLAB 7 Engineering 161 Engineering Practices II Joe Mixsell Spring 2012 MATLAB Properties I MATLAB is a very powerful mathematical computational tool. MATLAB comes from MATrix LABoratory MATLAB provides extensive capabilities for generating graphs MATLAB is applicable to a broad range of engineering problems MATLAB Properties II MATLAB supports an interactive and a programming environment Think of the interactive environment as a “super calculator” with graphics Think of the programming environment as tool for writing programs to perform complex calculations MATLAB Properties III Where does MATLAB fit? It is usually easier to write programs in MATLAB as compared to C or Fortran C or Fortran programs will usually run faster than MATLAB programs But, MATLAB is optimized for matrix manipulations and programs formalized in this way will run faster than similar programs in C or Fortran Resources Text: MATLAB for Engineers Notes: MATLAB Notes and Assignments Website: /schoolofengineering/current/courses/engr161.cfm Website: Student Edition of MATLAB 7 $99 Computer Lab Course of Study MATLAB Environment Chp. 2 Built-In MATLAB Functions Chp. 3 Manipulating MATLAB Matrices Chp. 4 Plotting Chp. 5 User Defined Functions Chp. 6 User Controlled Input and Output Chp. 7 Logical Functions and Control Structures Chp. 8 and 9 Matrix Algebra Chp. 10 Symbolic Mathematics Chp. 12 Polynomials/Curve Fitting Slide set MATLAB Assignments Chp. 2: 2.9, 2.11, 2.13, 2.17 and 2.18 Chp. 3: 3.5, 3.10, 3.22, 3.23 Chp. 4: 4.1, 4.8, 4.12 Chp. 5: 5.11, 5.13, 5.20, 5.25, 5.27 Chp. 6: 6.2, 6.6, 6.8 Chp. 7: 7.5 and 7.6, 7.9, 7.12, 7.13, 7.15 Chp. 8 9: 8.4, 8.5, 8.14, 9.8, 9.13, 9.15, 9.16 Chp. 10: 10.18, 10.20 Chp. 12: 12.7, 12.9 and 12.10, 12.11, 12.15, 12.16, 12.29, and 12.30 Programming Assignment- Project #1 There will be three longer programming projects which will be assigned and discussed in class later in the semester, us
