Introduction to Matlab 1
- MATLAB is used in many fields and can be used to analysis, process,
model and much more
- MATLAB is proprietary which has its own benefits and costs
- The MATLAB interface is very customisable, adjust it to suit
you
- Use the command window for quick tasks like exploring data, testing,
etc.
- Use the editor for developing code you want to persist between
sessions
- Variables are the main way we access and use data in MATLAB
- Variables can store many types of data including multidimensional
data
- Creating multidimensional arrays is done with square brackets
- Use functions to create, edit and operate on variables
- Operations are used to perform simple mathematical functions
- help and docs are valuable tools for understanding functions
