Abstract

This chapter introduces linear algebra. It discusses some of the essential approaches to solving systems of linear equations, as well as various matrix operations (matrix inverse, determinant, sum, subtraction, division, multiplication, power, exponential, elementwise and array-wise operations, and so forth). It covers eigen-value problems and matrix factorizations/decompositions, such as Cholesky, Schur, LU, QR, and singular value decomposition. It also includes built-in functions and scripts in MATLAB and Simulink models. Moreover, the chapter explains the standard matrix generator functions of MATLAB, how to create vector spaces, how to solve polynomials, and the logical indexing of matrices, all via examples in MATLAB and Simulink.
