MATLAB is a high-level programming language created by Cleve Moler in the 1970s to make programming easier for solving numerical problems. It became popular in universities and is now used by over 1 million users. MATLAB stands for MATrix LABoratory and treats everything as matrices, making it easy to do linear algebra. It is used across many fields including engineering to test designs, solve numerical problems, and has helped advance technologies like high-speed trains and robotic arms.

1. MATLAB
GENERAL INTRODUTION

2. PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES
 First high-level language: FORTAN
(1954)
• To make programming easier, especially
to solve numerical problems.
 Today’s languages:1970s-
• For commercial, “shrink-wrapped” ,large
,complex programs : C,C++,JAVA,
C#,etc
• To make programming easier, especially

3. especially to solve numerical problems:
MATLAB
• Same purpose as FORRAN , But FAR
easier to program,

4. MATLAB HISTORY
 Invented by Prof. Cleve Moler make
programming easy for his students
• Late 1970s
• University of New Mexico
 The MathWorks, Inc. was formed
in1984
• By Moler and Jack little
• One product: MATLAB

5.  Today
• 100 products
• Over 1,000,000 users
• Taught in 5,000 universities

6. Impact
 In 2012 the IEEE (Institute of electrical
electronic engineers)gave Cleve Moler
its Annual Computer Pioneer Award
• “For Improving the quality of mathematical
software, making it more accessible, and
creating MATLAB”

7. What is MATLAB
 High level language for technical
computing
 Stands for MATrix LABoratory
 Everything is a matrix - easy to do linear
algebra

9. Where to get MATLAB
 We get it form the website of
MATHWORKS
• By using an Id

10. APPLICATION OF MATLAB
IN CHEMICAL ENGINERING
 It is use for testing a computerize
design.
• Such as which consist of block
diagrams , pipping diagrams etc . It is
the model based design.
 Solves numericals.

11. KEY POINTS FOR TESTING.
1. Isolate and test components in
synchronized test environment.
2. Create reusable test assements and
test cases.
3. Manage simulation tests to confirm
behavior of models and generated
code (SIL,PIL)

12. Engineering Advancements with
the help of matlab
 Alstom
• Achieve high speed train(bolt train):
travels at 574.8 kilometer per hour (357
MPH)
 The JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY
• Applied physics lab: invent robotic arm
which control things with the help of
brain.
