If you have any question or problem with MatLab, please send me an email at: chenm or call me at: 953-7896.

  1. For this project, you need to record some computation results for your report. Read the MatLab handout (2) to see how to save computation results in text into a file on A Drive or C Drive under directory mydocu~1 (my document). After you are done with computation and recording, you may use Note Pad or a word processor to edit the text and write your comments before turn it in as the project report.

  2. Read the MatLab handout (2) to learn how to perform the vector and matrix operations numerically and symbolically in MatLab. Note that the matrices given below are typed in a way as they are initialized in MatLab. To save time on typing numbers in MatLab, you may do the following.
  3. Let A=[-1 9 4;2 -3 -6;0 5 7] a 3x3 matrix, B=[-4 9 2;3 -5 7;8 1 -6] a 3x3 matrix, C=[1 -2 3 2;3 1 -1 4] a 2x4 matrix and D=[a;b;c;d] a 4x1 matrix. Use MatLab to compute the following.
  4. Let A=[1 -2 1 1 2;-1 3 0 2 -2;0 1 1 3 4;1 2 5 13 5], b1=[1;2;3;4], b2=[4;-12;-4;-25].
