    INSTRUCTIONS
    A. Opening and closing Matlab.
    1. To open Matlab, double click the desktop icon or search and click in the programs.
    2. To exit Matlab, either click on Exit Matlab from the File menu or typing quit or exit in the
    Command Prompt Window. DO NOT click on the close box on the upper right corner.

    B. Accessing the Help window.


    1. To get in the Help browser, either click on the help button (?) in the desktop toolbar, or select
    the Help menu in any tool.
    2. Once in the Help browser, select the Contents tab in the Help Navigator pane on the left.
    3. To get to the desktop section, expand MATLAB > Getting Started > Development Environment.

    C. Using the Command window.


    1. Type the following in the Command window, then click Enter:
    >> 2+3 <Enter>
    >> 3-2 <Enter>
    >> 2*3 <Enter>
    >> 1/2 <Enter>
    >> 2^3 <Enter>
    >> 2\1 <Enter>
    2. Also try the following commands:
    >> 2 .*3 <Enter>
    >> 1 ./ 2 <Enter>
    >> 2 .^3 <Enter>

    Exercise #1: Getting Started

    3. Matlab has a useful editing feature called smart recall. Just type the first few characters of the
    command you want to recall, say 2*, then press the up-arrow key. This would recall the most
    recent command starting with 2*.
    4. Try the following commands:
    >> 0/1 <Enter>
    >> 1/0 <Enter>
    >> 0/0 <Enter>
    Matlab will try to warn you in case you didn’t realize you were dividing by zero but will still give
    you the answer Inf. In the last command, another special value is obtained NaN, which means
    Not-a-Number.

    5. To assign variables, perform the following commands:


    >> x = 2 <Enter>
    >> y = 3; z = 4; <Enter>
    >> w = x + y - z <Enter>

    E. Browsing the Command History window.


    1. You can run a command again by simply double clicking on it. Double click on w = x + y – z
    2. To alter the command before running it, click and drag the command to the Command
    window, change it, and then hit enter. Drag w = x + y – z then change it to w = x + y + z.

    F. Familiarizing with other tools.


    1. To change the file location you are working on, click on the Current Directory tab and type or
    browse to the correct address.
    2. The Directory shows the files in the current directory. The files can be run by double clicking
    and dragging them into the Command window.
    3. The Workspace keeps track of the variables that are created. Double click on x and change
    the value to 4.
