Math 20F

MATLAB Assignments

This is the gateway page for the Math 20F MATLAB assignments. Basic information for using MATLAB on campus ACS computers can be found in the first assignment, as well as the FAQ page. In general, though, each lab is self-contained and can be completed without prior MATLAB experience, although some assignments depend on commands learned in previous assignments.

1. Introduction to MATLAB
2. Systems of Linear Equations
3. Matrix Algebra
4. Linear Dependence, Column Space, Null Space, and Bases
5. Change of Basis and Coordinate Transformations
6. Eigenvalues, Determinants, and Diagonalization

Feedback:
