MATLAB

MATLAB is an integrated technical computing environment that combines numeric computation, advanced graphics and visualization, and a high-level programming language.

MATLAB includes hundreds of functions for:

• Data analysis and visualization
• Numeric and symbolic computation
• Engineering and scientific graphics
• Modeling, simulation, and prototyping
• Programming, application development, and GUI design

In which systems is MATLAB available ?

MATLAB (Version 7.11) is currently available in all the Linux Workstations on SERC floor . In addition, Older version of MATLAB (Version 6.1) is still available on  SUN, COMPAQ Servers on SERC floor. You can use MATLAB from a ascii terminal, but an X-window system will support more graphic displays.

How to invoke MATLAB ?

     Path for matlab-7.11 is /home/pkg/lic/matlab-7.11/bin

        For C-shell:

                    set  path=(/home/pkg/lic/matlab-7.11/bin   $path)

        For ksh or bash:

                   export PATH=/home/pkg/lic/matlab-7.11/bin:$PATH

Path for matlab-6.1 is /home/pkg/lic/matlab-6.1/bin

        For C-shell:

                    set  path=(/home/pkg/lic/matlab-6.1/bin   $path)

        For ksh or bash:

                   export PATH=/home/pkg/lic/matlab-6.1/bin:$PATH

Where do I get help ?

MATLAB is an interactive programme with on-line help. To get an overview of MATLAB type intro from the MATLAB prompt. The help command tells you the topics (directories) available in MATLAB. The command help directory_name or help function_name gives more detailed help about the directory or the function. You can also look for a particular topic by typing lookfor topic.

Several copies of MATLAB, MATLAB/SIMULINK and MATLAB/TOOLBOX manuals are also available in SERC library.

Beginners may go through a on-line course on Engineering Computation with MATLAB for a quick introduction.
