2.1 Introduction
The concept of arrays and matrices is important in solving problems of variegated nature. This concept is important in solving algebraic and differential equations, sorting, statistical operations, plotting, and various other applications. MATLAB is extremely efficient in representing and manipulating arrays and matrices, as the name MATLAB (Matrix Laboratory) suggests. In MATLAB, the same operators that are used in normal arithmetic can also be used with arrays and matrices. There is no need ...
