About this ebook
This concise article of forty pages takes you on a short tour on how to handle matrices using MATLAB. Topics covered include how to generate matrices in MATLAB, different operations on matrices, and how to handle matrix, vector, and scalar quantities. Various MATLAB functions associated with matrices are also explored. At the end of the presentation, a small section is devoted to symbolic computing with matrices using the MATLAB Symbolic Math Toolbox. The presentation is made in the form of solved examples showing the exact MATLAB commands used and the output. At the end of the article, there are about 54 unsolved exercises for students to practice. The solutions to all the exercises are also provided. This article is taken form the bestselling book “MATLAB for Beginners: A Gentle Approach.”

Matrices with MATLAB
In this article we introduce matrices and how to deal with them in MATLAB. Matrices are stored as two-dimensional arrays[1] in MATLAB. A matrix is a collection of numbers and/or scalars arranged in rows and columns. For example here is a matrix of numbers with three rows and four columns:
>> x = [2 1 -3 0 ; -2 3 4 1 ; 5 -2 1 3]
x =
2 1 -3 0
-2 3 4
