Designed for the newest version of the popular MATLAB software program and priced below competitive texts, MATLAB: An Introduction with Applications, 2/e requires no previous knowledge of computer programming. That, plus its brevity and accessibility, make it the perfect introduction for first- and second-year students. The first chapter describes basic features of the program and shows how to use it in simple arithmetic operations with scalars. The next two chapters focus on the topic of arrays (the basis of MATLAB), while the remaining text covers a wide range of other applications. Computer screens, tutorials, samples, and homework questions in math, science, and engineering, provide the student with the practical hands-on experience needed for total proficiency.
