What we have learnt
- Matrices are fundamental structures in MATLAB used for various operations.
- Vectors are a special case of matrices and can be created using square brackets.
- The colon operator is essential for efficient indexing and accessing submatrices.
Key Concepts
- -- Matrix
- A matrix is a two-dimensional array consisting of rows and columns used for data representation and manipulation.
- -- Vector
- A vector is a one-dimensional array that can either be a row vector or a column vector in MATLAB.
- -- Colon Operator
- The colon operator (:) is used in MATLAB for indexing and selecting specific ranges of elements from matrices and vectors.
- -- Transpose
- The transpose operation flips a matrix over its diagonal, switching rows and columns.
- -- Elementary Matrices
- Elementary matrices include matrices of zeros, ones, and identity matrices generated in MATLAB.
