III. Learnings and Conclusion

MATLAB® has been introduced in this experiment. MATLAB® can perform different commands that
could satisfy the basic needs of a problem, could serve as a solution and could be applied in different
aspects of life. This just proved that MATLAB® is useful and important in all professions especially
engineering professions.

To be familiarized in the MATLAB® language, tools and commands, this experiment gave a simple
introduction in its environment and a simple discussion of its basic built-in functions. The experiment
provided different mathematical problems to serve as an exercise in the familiarization of MATLAB®.
Matrix, which is one of the basic data elements of MATLAB®, is practiced. Several mathematical operations
that work on arrays and matrices are included in the functions of MATLAB® such as addition and
subtraction of matrices determinants and inverse matrices.

All the objectives of the experiment were reached so this experiment is considered as a success.
