MATLAB Tutorials class 4 : MATLAB command diag, det, trace

MATLAB Tutorials class 4: MATLAB command  diag, det, trace               We discussed random number generation in my previous post (rand, randi,randn function). We're going to see some interesting Matlab commands and their functions in this post. They are diag,det, and trace. First, we going to see about diag diag           By using the diag command we can create a diagonal matrix and can compute the diagonal of the matrix. Diagonal elements are one in the identity matrix(eye), but we can create our desired diagonal element by using the diag command. This is the major difference between the diagonal matrix (diag) and the identity matrix (eye). 1. How to create a diagonal matrix in MATLAB?           The syntax for creating a diagonal matrix in MATLAB is                 diag_creation=diag([1 2 3 4 5]) >> diag_creation=diag(...
