About this title

Synopsis

This fifth edition extends the MATLAB Primer, representing the significant features introduced in MATLAB 5 and reflecting a dramatic change in the text . This pocket book serves as an excellent resource for students and engineers requiring a high-level introduction and handy reference to MATLAB 5, helping readers to learn efficiently and independently without having to delve through manuals. MATLAB integrates computation, visualization, and programming in a flexible, open environment - offering engineers and scientists an intuitive language for expressing problems and their solutions mathematically and graphically. Complex numerical problems can be solved in a fraction of the time required with other programming languages, such as FORTRAN or C. Updated by numerous members involved with product development at The MathWorks, this exceptional revision provides the student and user with a quick, accessible, hands-on guide to the latest version of MATLAB.

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.

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.
