Matlab features a family of add-on application-specific solutions called
toolboxes. A toolbox is a comprehensive collection of Matlab functions (M-
files) that extend the Matlab environment to solve particular classes of
problems. For example, the Financial Toolbox includes ready to use
functions that provide a complete integrated computing environment for
financial analysis and engineering. The toolbox has everything you need to
perform mathematical and statistical analysis of financial data and display
the results with presentation-quality graphics. With MATLAB and the
Financial Toolbox, you can: compute and analyze prices, yields, and
sensitivities for derivatives and other securities, and for portfolios of
securities; analyze or manage portfolios; design and evaluate hedging
strategies and many more.
This handout is about a brief introductory course in the most important
parts of Matlab. After finishing this, you will be able to:
i. Utilize the basic mathematical operations;
ii. Get know the general purpose commands of Matlab;
iii. Become familiar with some of the elementary functions, matrix
and numerical linear algebra functions, as well as some graphic
and plot commands;
iv. Manipulate matrices (i.e. create and edit vectors and matrices,
build a larger matrix from a smaller one, etc);
v. Learn how to use the relational operators (<, >, <=, >=, ==, ~=) and
logical operators (& AND, | OR, ~ NOT);
vi. Recognize built in variables, define new ones and performing
computations with them;
vii. Learn how to use if and switch statements;
viii. Learn how to correctly utilize loop commands, such as the for loop,
and the while loop;
ix. Write and edit your own m-files and functions for solving a specific
problem;
x. …Numerous other utilities and uses depending on your will to learn
and utilize this technical language.
