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.
