MATLAB Basics video: Solving linear equations

This is one in a series of videos covering MATLAB basics. It is meant for the new MATLAB user.

This video covers how to convert two equations into matrix form and then solve them in MATLAB. This is one of the most basic problems in linear algebra. It is handled nicely in MATLAB, MATrix LABratory. This video shows how to define a small matrix and vector.
