MATLAB MANUAL
AND INTRODUCTORY TUTORIALS

This manual provides an introduction to MATLAB with exercises which are specically oriented to the MATLAB
service provided by Bath University Computing Service (BUCS). However much of the information provided
here is applicable to any MATLAB installation, PC, Mac or UNIX.
This manual has a dual role: it serves rst as a set of directed tutorials to be carried out in the laboratory
and second as a general reference manual for MATLAB.
Each chapter of the manual represents one tutorial, and includes exercises to be done during private
study time. For each tutorial you should read through the relevant chapter, trying out the various features
of MATLAB which are described, and then you should do the exercises.
You may extend the chapter by doing your own experiments with the system. Responsible experimentation
is essential when learning computing.Contents
