Book Description

April 11, 2008
This book is written for people who wish to learn MATLAB for the first time. The book is really designed for beginners and students. In addition, the book is suitable for students and researchers in various disciplines ranging from engineers and scientists to biologists and environmental scientists. One of the objectives of writing this book is to introduce MATLAB and its powerful and simple computational abilities to students in high schools. The material presented is very easy and simple to understand - written in a gentle manner. The topics covered in the book include arithmetic operations, variables, mathematical functions, complex numbers, vectors, matrices, programming, graphs, solving equations, and an introduction to calculus. In addition, the MATLAB Symbolic Math Toolbox is emphasized in this book. There are also over 230 exercises at the ends of chapters for students to practice. Detailed solutions to all the exercises are provided in the second half of the book.

This review is from: Matlab For Beginners: A Gentle Approach (Paperback)
This is a short version of the Matlab introduction. If you want to know Matlab from start, this is an excellent book that leads you step-by-step through the learning process from simple algebra to programming. Just as what the title said, it is a gentle approach to learn Matlab.
