Matlab basic operator
• Clc command: erase command window
• Clear command: erase the variables on the
space work
• % command: Write a commentary
• Help command: open the help window
• Matlab not take into aacount the spaces m,n - whole
• Matlab evaluate the sentences but not shown x,y - scalars
the result uses (;)
• If the sentence is to long, use (…) and enter
the next space

Matlab matrix and vector operations and declarations
• To define a vector/matrix uses ([ ]), it can
use ( scpace or (,) ) to define each carácter
of the matrix/vector
Ex: x = [5 7 -2 4 -6] ; ans: X= 5 7 -2 4 -6;
• Linspace command: generate a vector
between a,b values with equally spaced c
Ex: h=linspace(2,6,3); ans: h= 2 4 6;
• Matrix construcction:
• Zeros(n): define a square matrix (nxn)
of zeros
• Zeros(m,n): define a mxn matrix of
zeros
• Ones(n): define a square matrix (nxn)
of ones

A matrix, and m,n natural numbers
A matrix; V vector; n natural number

Matlab plot (2D)
• X=[-2 -1 0 1 2 3]; X = [-2 -1 0 1 2 3];
Y = [4 1 0 1 4 9];
• Y=[4 1 0 1 4 9];
Z = [6 5 3 7 5 2]; Define labels during
• Plot (X,Y); plot (X,Y,X,Z); the graphic function

Matlab programming (For, While, If)
In each iteration the variable The while command execute The if iteration evaluated the
obtain the i-esim value, and the order while every logic expression, if its true, then
execute the order. elements of the expressions execute the orders
are true.

Matlab excercises
1. Create two polynoms of 4 and 5 order and evaluate in a domain (0<x<1), plot its function.
2. Create two vectors (V,W) with the same size and operate each them:
• V*W
• V*W(dot ptoduct)
• VxW
• Define the transpose vector of V and W
3. Obtain the derivate function of the early polynoms in ponit 1.
4. Create a programme that shows the odd number of the x domain (0<x<100)
Send the work in .rar file with the name and group.
