As shown in the figure.

 Row vector: 

 Column vector:

 Rules

row * column [ inner product ]

a * b = 

column * row  [ outer product ]

b * a =

Enter a Matrix

If we want to enter a Matrix,we use semicolon(;) to  separate different rows.

Array Indexing

If we want to select a certain subset of elements inside a Matrix. 

Vector

Matrix

 一、we can use A(1,1) to select a certain subset element.

二、we could also use A(n)

If the elements in the matrix are selected as A(n),then n is A linear structure stored as column. 

 

then if we use 

In this way,we can creat a matrix by A(1),A(3)

There is a special case here.

The first [1,3] means the first row and third row.  

The second[1,3] means the first column and third column.

and 

The interleaved row and column form a new matrix.

Replacing Entries

As shown in the figure

 

Colon Operator

Want to create a long Array: A = [1 2 3 4 5 6...100]

Create vectors or arrays,and specify for iterations

 we could use colon operator( : ) to simplify our opertions

For instance ( Syntax )

 If we want to set up an arithmetic iteration

We can use colon operator to create a matrix conveniently

 

Find and Kill the rows or columns  in the matrix

we could use colon operator find the row or column

 

Kill the row or column,we pass an empty vector to the row or column that we select.

Array Concatenation 

Array can be formed through concatenation as long as the rectangular shape is preserved.

Methods A

In this way, we could set the "u"and "y" matrix as new matrix with column.

 Methods B

In this way, the new matrices are linked by rows of u and y matrices.

 Array Manipulation

Operators on array: + - * / ^ . '

 The '.' operator can be used with other operators.

For instance

we can get a true matrices multiplication when we only use single operator " * ".

We can manipulate two matrice with a single "+" to get a new matrix that adds the corresponding positions.

 The "+" operator is used with a real number means create a new matrix that adds the real number with the corresponding positions.

 

The " ' " operator means exchange of positional elements around the diagonal.

The rest of the operators can be inferred by common sense.

Some special matrix

---

 eye(n):

---

 zeros(n1,n2):

---

 ones(n1,n2):

Similar to the above.

---

diag():

Set the diagonal with a vector similar to [1 2 3 4 5]

And

The rest of positions are set with zeros.

Some special Related functions

As shown in the figure:

Demo

max() / min() / max(max())

The max() function can be used to pick up the max member of every row form a new vector.

If we want to select the max element in the matrix

 sum()

get the sum of the elements of each column.

 mean()

get the mean of the elements of each column.

 sort()/sortrows()

we can use these commands to sort columns or rows

As shown in the figure

 the result of these commands

 We can easily find that the row with the biggest value is moved to the top.

The rest of the commands can be easily understood

As shown in the figure

size()

The num of rows and column.

length()

The num of vector.

 fine()

 We can find whether a element we select in the matrix.It will return a index,if the value can be find in this matrix.

It will return an empty vector when the element not existed
