Module 1, part 3. Arrays
Contents
| No. | Topic | Discussion |
|---|---|---|
| 1. | Creating arrays Blecture pdf | This blecture shows you different ways to create vectors and matrices |
| 2. | Manipulating arrays Read Gilat § 2.1 - 2.4 |
These sections discuss the functions and commands for creating and manipulating arrays. |
| 3. | Self-check exercises Gilat Chapter 2: Problems 4,5,9 (pp. 52-53) |
Checklist: 1. Can you create vectors or matrices from a list of known values? 2. Can you create vectors or matrices using functions ones, zeros, and rand? 3. Can you create a vector of values with constant spacing using linspace or a colon expression? 4. Can you transpose a vector or matrix? |
| 4. | Array addressing Blecture pdf | This blecture shows you how to access sub-arrays. |
| 5. | More on array manipulation
Read Gilat § 2.6 - 2.9 up to p.49 |
These sections summarize the syntax for manipulating arrays, including the insertion and deletion of array elements |
| 6. | Basic mathematical operations on arrays Blecture slides (pdf) | This blecture describes simple expressions that perform a mathematical operation on all elements of a vector. Vectorized code is code that performs arithmetic (and relational and logical) operations on multiple elements of an array in one step. |
| 7. | Even more vectorized mathematics
Read Gilat § 3.1, 3.4 |
These sections provide more detail on the syntax and functions for vectorized mathematics. The remaining sections of Chapter 3 involve a branch of mathematics called Linear Algebra, which is not covered in this course. Read those sections if you want to use MATLAB for linear algebra. |
| 8. | Self-check exercises Gilat Chapter 3: Problems 1,2, 14a-c (pp. 79-83) |
Do these exercises to check that you know how to work with arrays. |
