MATLAB

GENERAL INTRODUTION

PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES

First high-level language: FORTAN (1954)

• To make programming easier, especially to solve numerical problems.

Today’s languages:1970s-• For commercial, “shrink-wrapped” ,large

,complex programs : C,C++,JAVA, C#,etc

• To make programming easier, especially

•

especially to solve numerical problems: MATLAB

• Same purpose as FORRAN , But FAR easier to program,

MATLAB HISTORY

Invented by Prof. Cleve Moler make programming easy for his students

• Late 1970s• University of New Mexico The MathWorks, Inc. was formed

in1984 • By Moler and Jack little• One product: MATLAB

Today • 100 products• Over 1,000,000 users• Taught in 5,000 universities

Impact In 2012 the IEEE (Institute of electrical

electronic engineers)gave Cleve Moler its Annual Computer Pioneer Award• “ For Improving the quality of

mathematical software, making it more accessible, and creating MATLAB”

What is MATLAB

High level language for technical computing

Stands for MATrix LABoratory

Everything is a matrix - easy to do linear

algebra

Where to get MATLAB

We get it form the website of MATHWORKS

• By using an Id

APPLICATION OF MATLAB IN CHEMICAL ENGINERING It is use for testing a computerize

design.• Such as which consist of block

diagrams , pipping diagrams etc . It is the model based design.

Solves numericals.

KEY POINTS FOR TESTING.

1. Isolate and test components in synchronized test environment.

2. Create reusable test assements and test cases.

3. Manage simulation tests to confirm behavior of models and generated code (SIL,PIL)

Engineering Advancements with the help of matlab Alstom • Achieve high speed train(bolt train):

travels at 574.8 kilometer per hour (357 MPH)

The JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY • Applied physics lab: invent robotic arm

which control things with the help of brain.
