In this example we start Matlab by typing matlab5 (in WVU ISIS super computer). In your computer, the start command may be different one, like matlab. Then you do what you want. Finally use exit or quit to leave Matlab.
To solve the following equations:
x + 2y = 5
2x + 6y = 14
>> a=[1 2; 2 6]
a =
1 2
2 6
>> b=[5; 14]
b =
5
14
>> x=a\b
x =
1.0000
2.0000
>> exit
>> t=0:pi/20:2*pi; >> plot(sin(t), cos(t)) >> axis square
Here is the result:
>> x=linspace(1,5);
>> y=1-exp(-x).*sin(2*pi*x);
>> plot(x,y)
Here is the result:
>> t=0:pi/50:2*pi;
>> y1=sin(t);
>> y2=cos(t);
>> y3=sin(t-0.25);
>> y4=cos(t-0.25);
>> plot(t,y1,t,y2,t,y3,t,y4)
Here is the result:
>> x=[.19 .22 .41 .18];
>> pie(x)
>> explode = zeros(size(x));
>> h = pie(x, explode);
>> textObjs = findobj(h, 'Type', 'text');
>> oldStr = get(textObjs, {'String'});
>> val = get(textObjs, {'Extent'});
>> oldExt = cat(1, val{:});
>> Names = {'P1: '; 'P2: '; 'P3: '; 'P4: '};
>> newStr = strcat(Names, oldStr);
>> set (textObjs, {'String'}, newStr)
Here is the result:
>> t=0:pi/50:15*pi; >> plot3(sin(t), cos(t), t); >> text(0,0,0, 'Origin'); >> grid;
Here is the result:
>> [x,y] = meshgrid(-2:.1:2, -2:.1:2); >> z = x .* exp(-x.^2 - y.^2); >> mesh(z)
Here is the result:
>> g = 0:0.2:10; >> [x,y] = meshgrid(g); >> z = 2*sin(sqrt(x.^2 + y.^2)); >> mesh(z);
Here is the result:
