Abstract
MATLAB is an interactive computer program that serves as a convenient “laboratory” for computations involving matrices. This paper gives three examples showing how MATLAB can be used in the classroom and in numerical analysis research.
Keywords
- Gaussian Elimination
- Interactive Computer Program
- Cylindrical Inclusion
- Roundoff Error
- Fortran Subroutine
These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
