What is Matlab

Notes for ENSC 180

Matlab

• Code

  • much like c++

    • but it’s an interpreted language
      • this executes the instructions directly

• Plotting

  • Very easy to plot a function

• Simulation

  • The built in stuff makes it very easy to simulate stuff

    • AM modulation
    • automatic car transmission
    • simusscape
      • unidirectional

• Toolbox

  • Package of functions for specific topic

    • EX

      • symbolic math

        • basicly CAS but stronger
        • very intuitive -> similar to latex
      • optimization
      • communications
      • control system
      • DSP system
      • image processing
      • robotics system
