Study Notes

clear Command

  • The clear command removes all variables from the workspace.
  • It does not save variables to a file, nor is it used to create new variables.
  • The clear command does not remove only temporary variables from the workspace.
  • It can be used to remove individual variables.

Working with Matrices

  • Matrices in MATLAB can be created using square brackets [], for example, x = [1 2 3; 4 5 6];

Summation

  • sum(x) returns the sum of the elements of x as a row vector with the sum over each column
  • sum(x,2) sums along the dimension 2 (i.e., sums each row)
  • To find the sum of elements stored in a matrix with n dimensions, use sum command n times in cascade form

Mean

  • mean(x) returns the average of the elements of x as a row vector with the average over each column
  • mean(x,2) averages along the dimension 2 (i.e., averages each row)
  • mean(mean(x)) can be used to find the overall mean of a matrix

Creation of Matrices

  • zeros(N) produces an N by N matrix of zeros
  • zeros(N,M) produces an N by M matrix of zeros
  • ones(N) produces an N by N matrix of ones
  • ones(N,M) produces an N by M matrix of ones

Matrix Indexing

  • A(1,4) refers to the element in the first row and fourth column of matrix A
  • A(1,4) + A(2,4) + A(3,4) + A(4,4) can be used to compute the sum of the elements in the fourth column of A
  • sum(A(:,4)) can also be used to compute the sum of the elements in the fourth column of A

Colon Operator

  • The colon : is a powerful operator in MATLAB
  • 1:10 returns a row vector containing the integers from 1 to 10
  • 100:-7:50 returns a row vector containing the integers from 100 to 50 in decrements of 7
  • A(1:k,j) returns the first k elements of the jth column of A
  • A(4,:) returns the entire fourth row of A

Basic Matrix Functions

  • min(x) returns the minimum value of the elements of x
  • min(min(x)) returns the minimum value of the minimum values of each column of x
  • magic(N) produces an N by N magic square
  • inv(x) returns the inverse of matrix x
  • diag(x) returns the diagonal of matrix x
  • prod(x) returns the product of the elements of x as a row vector with the product over each column
  • median(x) returns the median value of the elements of x
