About MATLAB

We will use computer not only to implement algorithms and models but also as a tool for exploring mathematical concepts leading to conjectures and results.
Matlab is an interactive program which does all sorts of matrix calculations.
To do symbolic manipulation with MATLAB, we need a toolbox.
The symbolic Toolbox, which is based on the kernel of Maple ( A Symbolic software) lets you perform symbolic computations from within MATLAB.


1. Matlab is case sensitive, for example , a and A represent different objects.
2. You type the commands at the MATLAB's prompt: " >> ".
3. If you type % before a command, MATLAB will not respond to it. Whenever you want to write a comment or explain something you could type % at the beginning.
