Synopsis

With the spread of the powerhouse MATLAB® software into nearly every area of math, science, and engineering, it is important to have a strong introduction to using the software. Updated for version 7.0, MATLAB® Primer, Seventh Edition offers such an introduction as well as a "pocketbook" reference for everyday users of the software. It offers an intuitive language for expressing problems and solutions both numerically and graphically.

The latest edition in this best-selling series, MATLAB® Primer, Seventh Edition incorporates a number of enhancements such as changes to the desktop, new features for developing M-files, the JIT accelerator, and an easier way of importing Java classes. In addition to the features new to version 7.0, this book includes:

A new section on M-Lint, the new debugger for M-files

A new chapter on calling Java from MATLAB and using Java objects inside the MATLAB workspace

A new chapter on calling Fortran from MATLAB

A new chapter on solving equations: symbolic and numeric polynomials, nonlinear equations, and differential equations

A new chapter on cell publishing, which replaces the "notebook" feature and allows the creation of Word, LaTeX, PowerPoint, and HTML documents with executable MATLAB commands and their outputs

Expanded Graphics coverage-including the 3D parametrically defined seashells on the front and back covers

Whether you are new to MATLAB, new to version 7.0, or simply in need of a hands-on, to-the-point reference, MATLAB® Primer provides the tools you need in a conveniently sized, economically priced pocketbook.

About this title

Review

This primer is a useful little booklet. It presents language features in a progressive manner, with the easy things first and more sophisticated features built onto these. ... it also serves as a reference work and is a useful supplement to the online help that comes with MATLAB itself. ... The presentation throughout is clear and concise, with the text enlivened by illustrative examples where appropriate. Altogether, the book is a complete course in MATLAB, including a careful introduction to object-oriented programming and other advanced and powerful features. I highly recommend this book to MATLAB users at all levels of expertise.
―J.C. Butcher, Computing Reviews, October 2011

After many years away from MATLAB, I am now picking it up again to do some research in signal processing strategies for cochlear implants. As I got into it, I realized that I had forgotten enough of the details as to be pretty useless so I got this book and started from scratch. I love this book! Extremely well written. I especially like the examples that the author intentionally ‘botched’ in order to make teaching points.
