Book Description

0849320399 978-0849320392 August 27, 1999 1
MATLABä-the tremendously popular computation, numerical analysis, signal processing, data analysis, and graphical software package-allows virtually every scientist and engineer to make better and faster progress. As MATLAB's world-wide sales approach a half-million with an estimated four million users, it becomes a near necessity that professionals and students have a level of competence in its use. Until now, however, there has been no book that quickly and effectively introduces MATLAB's capabilities to new users and assists those with more experience down the path toward increasingly sophisticated work.
Basics of MATLAB and Beyond is just such a book. Its hands-on, tutorial approach gently takes new users by the hand and leads them to competence in all the fundamentals of MATLAB. Then, with equal effectiveness, it covers the advanced topics that lead to full, creative exploitation of MATLAB's awesome power. With this book, readers will:
  • Solve more problems with MATLAB-and solve them faster
  • Create clearer, more beautiful graphics with control over every detail
  • Create their own MATLAB code
  • Share their work by exporting data and graphics to other applications
  • Develop graphical user interfaces
    Based on the latest 5.x release, Basics of MATLAB and Beyond supplies both novice and experienced users the tools they need to gain proficiency, increase productivity, and ultimately have more fun with MATLAB.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent introduction to MATLAB!!!, June 12, 2001
    This review is from: Basics of MATLAB and Beyond (Paperback)
    I was first introduced to Matlab as part of a junior level signal processing course. Without any kind of introductory manual on using Matlab, I struggled through the course believing that it was a pain to use. Recently, needing to use Matlab again, I found Knight's book in my school library. It made a huge difference. After just a few hours with the book I felt like a Matlab wiz. This book covers the basics concisely, using plenty of examples, and also shows how easy it is to use more advanced features like graphical user interfaces. It also provides instruction for dowloading a library of useful m-files and demos. It is not a comprehensive reference but I couldn't recommend it more highly to a person who needs to learn to use Matlab or feels uncomfortable using it.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Not a wiz, but not an idiot either, July 23, 2007
    Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
    This review is from: Basics of MATLAB and Beyond (Paperback)
    I used this book as part of a computer-modeling course at Duke. I don't think it alone will make you a wiz at Matlab, but it does help you overcome that, "What did I just get myself into?" feeling. For the movice this is a very useful resource that will keep you from bouncing you head against the nearest wall while using the program.
