Introduction to MATLAB

This workshop aims to introduce the computational software MATLAB - a tool used widely by scientists and engineers both in industry and academia. 

By combining elementary linear algebra and mesh analysis, the workshop will showcase simple applications of MATLAB when it comes to aiding circuit analysis.  

Recommended for students who have completed ELEC1232 & MATH1231 or equivalents.

Agenda

This workshop assumes no prior knowledge in linear algebra nor different methods of circuit analysis outside of what is taught at NC; all required theory will be taught during this workshop.

 

Topics will include:

 

Vectors

  • Ordered list of number notation

  • Vector scalar multiplication and vector addition

  • Span & Linear Independence 

System of Linear Equations

  • Obtain a system of linear equations from vectors arithmetic

  • Introduce the equivalent triangular form of a system of linear equations

  • Introduce Ax=b form

Using Gaussian Elimination to get Triangular Form/Gauss-Jordan Elimination to get Row Reduced Form:

  • Define leading variable & free variables

  • Showcase elementary row operations   

Implementing Gauss-Jordan Elimination & Mesh Analysis into MATLAB to solve examples:

  • Solve resistive circuits with multiple sources

  • Construct a Norton's Equivalent circuit from a circuit containing multiple sources
