Tutorial
• Lessons
The following lessons are designed to get you started quickly in MATLAB. Each
lesson should take about 10-15 minutes. The lessons are intended to make you
familiar with the basic facilities of MATLAB. We also urge you to do the exercises
given at the end of each lesson. This will take more time, but it will make you
familiar with MATLAB. If you get stuck in the exercises, simply turn the page;
answers are on the back. Most answers consist of correct commands to do the
exercises. However, there arc several mrrect ways to do the problems. So, your
commands may 'look different than those given.
Before Yo u Start
You neeJ some information abouL the computer you are going to work on .
particular, find out the following:
• How to switch on the computer and get it started.
• How to log on and lo g off.
• Where MATLAB is installed on the computer.
• How to access MATLAB.
• Where you can write and save files-hard drive or a floppy disk.
• If there is a printer attached to the computer.
If you are working on your own computer, you will most likely know the answer
to these question. If you are working on a computer in a public facility, the system
manager can help you. If you are in a class that requires working on MATLAB,
your professor or TA can provide answers. In public facilities, sometimes the best
thin g to do is to spot a friendly person who works there and ask these questions
politely. People are usually nice!
If you have not read the introduction (Chapter 1), we recommend that you at
least read Sections 1.6.1-1.6.3 and glance through the rest of Section 1.6 before
trying the tutorials.
