MATLAB

MATLAB in not only a programming language but a programming environment as well. You can perform operations from the command line, as a sophisticated calculator. Or you can create programs and functions that perform repetitive tasks, just as any other computer language.

MATLAB Has Several Advantages Over Other Methods Or Languages:

• Its basic data element is the matrix. A simple integer is considered an matrix of one row and one column.  Several mathematical operations that work on arrays or matrices are built-in to the Matlab environment. For example, cross-products, dot-products, determinants, inverse matrices.
• Vectorized operations. Adding two arrays together needs only one command, instead of a for or while loop.
• The graphical output is optimized for interaction. You can plot your data very easily, and then change colors, sizes, scales, etc, by using the graphical interactive tools.
• Matlab’s functionality can be greatly expanded by the addition of toolboxes. These are sets of specific functions that provide more specialized functionality. Ex: Excel link allows data to be written in a format recognized by Excel, Statistics Toolbox allows more specialized statistical manipulation of data (Anova, Basic Fits, etc)

Objectives:

• Understand the Matlab Desktop, Command window and the Graph Window, Be able to do simple and complex calculation using Matlab,Be able to carry out numerical computations and analyses and Understand the mathematical concepts upon which numerical methods rely,and also Ensure you can competently use the Matlab programming environment by which you can Understand the tools that are essential in solving engineering problems
• On completion of this course,the students shall be :-
• Exposure with different tools and algorithms of research tools.
• Expertise required to design any system/simulation based on required concept.
