Document Summary

Matlab (matrix laboratory) is an engineering software mainly used for manipulating matrices. The purpose of this lab is mainly knowing how to use matlab through applying calculations in matlab to solve sets of given vectors and matrices. For part 1, calculations were applied on sets of vectors and scalars then using intellicad the path of a search boat was sketched. Later on, the distance travelled by a boat was calculated by calculating the normal of each vector that represents the path of the boat and finding their sums using matlab. Finally, when the boat went on a search mission, the areas covered by the boat in the 2 trials done were calculated and compared using matlab. For part 2, sets of mathematical operations were first applied on 4 sets of matrices and a graph of one of the operations was plotted using matlab. Using the same method, a complex 6x6 matrix was solved but using a different matlab command.
