Abstract

MATLAB is a numeric computation software for engineering and scientific calculations. MATLAB is being used to teach circuit theory, filter design, random processes, control systems and communication theory. MATLAB matrix functions are shown to be versatile in doing analysis of data obtained from electronics experiments. The graphical features of MATLAB are especially useful for display of frequency response of amplifiers and illustrating the principles and concepts of semiconductor physics. The interactive programming and versatile graphics of MATLAB is especially effective in exploring some of the characteristics of devices and electronic circuits
