To normalize a matrix such that all values fall in the range [0, 1] use
Anorm = (A - min2(A))/(max2(A) - min2(A));

You missed a dot before the division operation for a 2d matrix

There ./ is not needed here, since the denominator is a scalar.
That said, there is no function called min2() or max2(), nor can I find evidence that there were functions by those names which have since been removed. Maybe they used to be part of one of the toolboxes.
Alternatively, you could do:
Anorm = (A - min(A(:)))/(max(A(:)) - min(A(:)));
or you could do
Anorm = (A - min(A,[],'all'))/(max(A,[],'all') - min(A,[],'all'));
though the latter option wouldn't have worked circa 2013

You need to decide how you want to define the amplitude of the matrix first. Maybe you want this
normalized = A/norm(A);
or maybe this
normalized = A/max(abs(A(:)))

Please, jenifer, we have asked you to define "normalization" exactly. It wastes time if we guess what you mean.

You can use 'normc' or 'normr' for normalization. 'c' or 'r' stands for columns or rows that you want to normalize.

Since R2018a, you can use normalize() to perform normalization in various different ways.
A = 1:6
A = 1×6
1 2 3 4 5 6
B1 = normalize(A,'range') % default range is [0 1]
B1 = 1×6
0 0.2000 0.4000 0.6000 0.8000 1.0000
B2 = normalize(A,'range',[-1 2]) % but you can specify any range
B2 = 1×6
-1.0000 -0.4000 0.2000 0.8000 1.4000 2.0000
B3 = normalize(A,'zscore','std') % zero-center and scale to have std=1
B3 = 1×6
-1.3363 -0.8018 -0.2673 0.2673 0.8018 1.3363
B4 = normalize(A,'norm',2) % normalize by vector p-norm (default p=2)
B4 = 1×6
0.1048 0.2097 0.3145 0.4193 0.5241 0.6290
