MATLAB Introduction (FAQ)
• MATLAB was originally developed to be a
"matrix laboratory," written to provide easy
access to matrix software developed by the
LINPACK and EISPACK projects.
• Since then, the software has evolved into an
interactive system and programming
language for general scientific and technical
computation and visualization.
SIMULINK (FAQ)
• SIMULINK is an interactive system for the nonlinear
simulation of dynamic systems.
• A graphical, mouse-driven program that allows systems
to be modeled by drawing a block diagram on the
screen.
• It can handle linear, nonlinear, continuous-time,
discrete-time, multivariable, and multirate systems.
• SIMULINK runs on workstations using X-Windows.
• SIMULINK is fully integrated with MATLAB, and,
together with MATLAB and the Control System
Toolbox, forms a complete control system design and
analysis environment.
LAPACK
• A high performance matrix processing
library, commonly used in computational
science.
• A descendent of LINPACK
• Currently integrated with MATLAB.
MATLAB History (FAQ)
• In the mid-1970s, Cleve Moler and several
colleagues developed the FORTRAN subroutine
libraries called LINPACK and EISPACK under a
grant from the National Science Foundation.
• LINPACK was a collection of FORTRAN
subroutines for solving linear equations, while
EISPACK contained subroutines for solving
eigenvalue problems.
• Together, LINPACK and EISPACK represented
state of the art software for matrix computation.
Second Phase (FAQ)
• In the late 1970s, Moler, who was then chairman
of the computer science department at the
University of New Mexico, wanted to be able to
teach students in his linear algebra courses using
the LINPACK and EISPACK software.
• However, he didn't want them to have to program
in FORTRAN, because this wasn't the purpose of
the course.
• So, as a "hobby" on his own time, he started to
write a program that would provide simple
interactive access to LINPACK and EISPACK.
Emergence of MATLAB (FAQ)
• Moler named his program MATLAB, for MATrix
LABoratory.
• Over the next several years, when he would visit
another university to give a talk, or as a visiting
professor, he would end up by leaving a copy of
his MATLAB on the university machines.
• Within a year or two, MATLAB started to catch
on by word of mouth within the applied math
community as a "cult" phenomena.
Professional MATLAB
Development (FAQ)
• In early 1983, John Little was exposed to MATLAB
because of a visit Cleve made to Stanford.
• Little, an engineer, recognized the potential
application of MATLAB to engineering applications.
• So in 1983, Little teamed up with Moler and Steve
Bangert to develop a second generation, professional
version of MATLAB written in C and integrated with
graphics.
• The MathWorks, Inc. was founded in 1984 to market
and continue development of MATLAB.
Basic Features of MATLAB
(FAQ)
• MATLAB commands are expressed in a form very
similar to that used in mathematics and engineering.
– For instance, b = A x, where A, b, and x are matrices, is
written b = A * x .
– To solve for x in terms of A and b, write x = A\b
• There is no need to program matrix operations
explicitly like multiplication or inversion.
• Solving problems in MATLAB is much quicker than
programming in a high-level language such as C or
FORTRAN.

IEEE Arithmetic
• All arithmetic is in accordance with the
double precision IEEE standard.
• 64 bits per number
• All computations are in floating point.
• You can get NaNs if the computations are
undefined.
Statements
• Multiple statements can appear on the same
line, separated by semicolons or commas.
• If a statement is terminated by a semicolon,
output is suppressed; otherwise it is printed.
• Output can be formatted with the format
command
Functions
• MATLAB has thousands of functions, and
you can add your own using m-files.
Function Argument Lists
• Input arguments are to the right of the function
name, within parentheses
• Output arguments are to the left of the function
