Introduction

What is Scilab

Cross platform Numerical Computational Package and a

High level Numerically oriented Programming Language.
It is used in Signal Processing, Statistical Analysis, Image
Enhacement, Fluid Dynamic Simulations, Numerical
Optimizations , Modelling and Simulations of Explicit and Implicit
Dynamical Systems and its related symbolic manipulations.

Brief History

Scilab was created in 1990 by researchers from INRIA (Institut

National de Recherche en Informatique et en Automatique) and
ENPC(Ecole Nationale des ponts et Chaussees)in France.
Initially named as ΨLab (PsiLab)
In order to improve the technology transfer the Scilab Consortium
joined the Digiteo Foundation in July 2008
In July 2010 the Consortium announced the creation of Scilab
Enterprises. Scilab Enterprises developes and markets directly or
through an International Network of affiliated Service Providers a
comprehensive set of Services for Scilab Users.It also developes
and maintains the Scilab Software.
More information is avaliable on www.scilab-enterprises.com

Matrix and its operations

If A is any 3 × 3matrix and is any real number then a non zero vector X
in R3 is called an eigenvector of A if AX = λX

The value of λ is called as an eigenvalue of A

The vector X is called as an eigenvalue of A
OR Equivalently
If A is any 3 × 3 matrix and is any real number then λ is an
eigenvalue of A if and only if det (λI − A) = 0

For
 example consider
 the matrix
2 1 1
 2 3 4 
−1 −1 −2
then eigenvalues of A are given by λ = 1, λ = −1 and λ = 3

Matrix and its operations

Given a matrix A
evals = spec (A) : stores the eigenvalues of A in the vector evals
[R, diagevals] = spec (A) displays the diagonal matrix with
eigenvalues on the diagonal and the matrix R containing the
eigenvectors
Consider the system of 3 equations in 3 variables given by AX = b
where A is a 3 × 3 co-effecient matrix and b is the column 3 × 1 vector

[A b] is the augumented matrix of order 3 × 4 consisting of the

matrix A and the column vector b
[ker X ] = linsolve (A, −b) will solve the linear system of equations
above incase the solution exists

p(x) = a0 + a1 x + a2 x 2 + ......an x n where an 6= 0
A root of a polynomial is a value r such that p(r ) = 0

p = poly ([List of coefficients],0 x 0 ,0 coeff 0 ): will display a

polynomial of the given deegre in the variable x with the
coefficients mentioned in the list
roots(p): will display the roots of the polynomial p
p = poly ([List of roots],0 x 0 ): will display a polynomial whose
