Introduction to MATLAB MATLAB in Science, Engineering, and Mathematics Instruction John Sebeson DeVry University January 18, 2005 J. M. Sebeson - DeVry Uni versity © 2005 What is MATLAB? MATLAB stands for MATrix LABoratory. MATLAB is a high-performance language for technical computing. Math and computation Algorithm development (optimized for DSP) Data acquisition Modeling, simulation, and prototyping Data analysis, exploration, and visualization Scientific and engineering graphics Application development, including graphical user interface building January 18, 2005 J. M. Sebeson - DeVry Uni versity © 2005 Why Learn and Use MATLAB? Heavily used in EET/CET courses with DSP content (CET311, EET350, EET453) Extensive built-in commands for scientific and engineering mathematics Easy way to generate class demonstrations and test examples Simple and intuitive programming for more complex problems Standard and widely-used computational environment with many features, extensions, and links to other software.

(just less efficient) January 18, 2005 J. M. Sebeson - DeVry Uni versity © 2005 Why Learn MATLAB (and DSP)? Digital Signal Processing (DSP) is the dominant technology today, and into the future, for small-signal electronic systems (i.e., just about everything) MATLAB has become one of the standard design environments for DSP engineering Our students need to be literate and skilled in this environment: knowledgeable in both DSP and MATLAB January 18, 2005 J.
