Introduction to MATLAB
In this introduction we will describe how MATLAB handles simple numerical expressions and mathematical formulas. The name MATLAB stands for MATrix LABoratory. MATLAB was written originally to provide easy access to matrix software developed by the LINPACK (linear system package) and EISPACK (Eigen system package) projects. MATLAB is a high-performance language for technical computing. It integrates computation, visualization, and programming environment. Furthermore, MATLAB is a modern programming language environment: it has sophisticated data structures, contains built-in editing and debugging tools, and supports object-oriented programming. These factors make MATLAB an excellent tool for teaching and research.
Key Features

MATLAB - Basic arithmetic operations
MATLAB – Variables
Variable names are case sensitive. Variable names must start with a letter and can be followed by letters, digits and underscores.
MATLAB – Relational Operators
MATLAB supports six relational operators
MATLAB – Logical Operators
MATLAB supports three logical operators
