Stephen Chapman's Essentials of MATLAB Programming is a successful freshman-level text that is useable in a wide range of courses. This brief text serves two purposes -- it teaches how to program using MATLAB as a technical programming language as well as teaching students the basics of computer programming. Using top-down design methodology, the text encourages students to think about the proper design of a program before coding. Problem solving skills as well as the ability to locate desired functions within MATLAB are also presented making this text a useful reference tool.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Book as aTextbook, October 20, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I teach a 1-credit hr class on Programming to Engineers. This is the first semester I am teaching the class using Matlab and a mock ABET visitor last year recommended this book to me. It is a good book for someone learning how to program in Matlab. Good end of the book exercises.

The harder concepts or concepts that are only true for Matlab need to be seperated out. Plotting needs to be in two separate chapters. More examples are needed in the chapters.

Update: The second edition of this book hardly has any changes for the content I teach.

Update: We bit the bullet and wrote our own book. It is self-published. [...]

5.0 out of 5 stars Great, October 25, 2010
The book helps. Not at all necessary for the level of programming in class, but this book serves as a fool proof backup to all of your programming in MatLab questions. Breaks it down simple so even those completely new to this idea of programming has a perfectly good opportunity at being successful in a class that covers this material.
