  2. Today's Learning Objectives • After today’s class, students will be able to: • Explain the meaning of element-by-element operations. • Identify situations where the standard operators in MATLAB (when used with arrays) are reserved for linear algebra, which is not always element-by-element. • Apply dot operators for the six cases where linear algebra is not element-by-element and therefore dot operators are needed to produce element-by-element calculations.

  3. Scalar Math MATLAB has scalar math operations: >> a + b >> a – b >> a * b >> a / b >> a ^ b For scalar variables a and b : >> a = 4 ; >> b = 2 ;

  4. Scalar–Vector Addition Define the vector v and the scalar c : >> v = [ 10 20 30 40 ] ; >> c = 4 ; Add them: >> v + c >> c + v ans = 14 24 34 44

  5. Scalar - Vector Multiplication For the vector v and scalar c : >> v = [ 10 20 30 40 ] ; >> c = 4 ; Multiply them: >> c * v>> v * c ans = 40 80 120 160

  6. Scalar - Vector Division >> v = [ 10 20 30 40 ] ; >> c = 4 ; Divide: >> v / c ans = 2.50 5.00 7.50 10.00

  7. Scalar - Vector Division >> v = [ 10 20 30 40 ] ; >> c = 4 ; Divide: >> c / v >> c ./ v Error using / Matrix dimensions must agree. ans = 0.40 0.20 0.13 0.10

  8. Scalar - Vector Exponents >> v = [ 10 20 30 40 ] ; >> c = 4 ; Exponent: >> v ^ c Better: >> v .^ c ans = 10000 160000 810000 2560000 Error using ^ Inputs must be a scalar and a square matrix. To compute elementwise POWER, use POWER (.^) instead.

  9. Scalar - Vector Math Summary For a scalar c and a vector v: Addition v + c or c + v Subtraction v – c or c – v Multiplication v * c or c * v or v.* c or c.* v Division v / c or c./ v or v./ c Exponentv.^ c or c.^ v

  10. Vector–Vector Addition Define the vector x and the vector y : >> x = [ 10 20 30 40 ] ; >> y = [ 2 4 6 8 ] ; Add them: >> x + y >> y + x x and ymust be the same length! ans = 12 24 36 48

  11. Vector - Vector Multiplication x = [ 10 20 30 40 ]; y = [ 2 4 6 8 ]; Multiply: >> z = x * y ??? Error using ==> mtimes Inner matrix dimensions must agree!!!

  12. Vector - Vector Multiplication x = [ 10 20 30 40 ] ; y = [ 2 4 6 8 ] ; Multiply two vectors element-by-element: >> z = x .* y z = 20 80 180 320

  13. Vector - Vector Division x = [ 10 20 30 40 ] ; y = [ 2 4 6 8 ] ; Divide: >> x ./ y Also try >> y ./ x ans = 5 5 5 5 ans = 0.20 0.20 0.20 0.20

  14. Vector - Vector Exponents x = [ 2 2 2 2 ] ; y = [ 2 4 6 8 ] ; Exponent: >> x .^ y Also try: >> y .^ x ans = 4 16 36 64 ans = 4 16 64 256

  15. Vector - Vector Math Summary For two vectors xand y: Addition x + y or y + x Subtraction x – y or y – x Multiplication x.* y or y.* x Division x./ y or y./ x Exponent x.^ y or y.^ x Alwaysuse the dot operator for Multiply, Divide, andExponent

  16. Example 1 Calculate y = 4x2 for x = 1, 2, 3 and 4 First define x >> x = [ 1 2 3 4 ]; Then calculate y >> y Which '.'is required below? y= 4.*x.^2 Required y= 4*x.^2 y = 4 16 36 64 y = 4 16 36 64

  17. Example 2 Calculate y = (4a2 + a)/(2+a) for a = 1, 2, 3 and 4 First define a : >> a = [ 1 2 3 4 ] a = 1 2 3 4 >> y = ((4*a.^2)+a)./(2+a) y = 1.6667 4.5000 7.8000 11.3333

  18. Built - In Vector Functions MATLAB has built-in functions for vectors When v is a vector: max(v) Returns the largest element in v min(v) Returns the smallest element in v mean(v) Returns the average value of the elements in v sum(v) Returns the sum of the elements of v length(v) Returns the number of elements in v sort(v) Sorts the elements of v

  19. Important Takeaways • Know when to use the dot operator for Multiply, Divide, and Exponent. • Always use a dot operator when appropriate and understand what you are trying to accomplish when you use it. • Vector functions operate on all of the numbers in a vector or matrix.

  20. Preview of Next Class • Input and Output • Inputting data into and out of programs • GPA calculator example • With and without use of vectors • Inputting to a script file • Output to command window

  21. What’s Next? • Review today’s Quiz #04 • Open the in-class activity from the EEIC website and we will go through it together. • Then, start working on MAT-04 homework. • Before next class, you will read more detail about script files including global variables. There is also information on input and output (I/O) commands in MATLAB.
