A Guide to MATLAB

Reviews

Here are some reviews of the earlier editions of the book:

• Review by George Dieter, Professor Emeritus and former Dean of the A. J. Clark School of Engineering at the University of Maryland
  As a professional trying to learn MatLab by self study I found A Guide to MATLAB the best of the four books I have tried. Three things I liked that I have not always found in other books. The progression is slow but not trivial, with short examples to test your understanding. Symbolic computation is introduced early, and not relegated to the last chapter. Comprehension is tested at stages by three exams for which the solutions are completely worked out.

  *****excellent beginners math orientated book, 13 October, 2001
  Reviewer: Mr LEON O JONES from uk
  This book largely concentrates on general math background of the MATLAB/MAPLE toolbox, without dealing with the higher functions used in degree electrical work eg Bessel and others. If you have the student version of MATLAB (v5.3), you will find this book 'dovetails' nicely with that manual. The coverage is from 4-6 versions and it is clearly marked which is relevent, though biased towards the latter versions. It is written by 'more professors than you can shake a stick at' and the quality of the writing clearly shows in this work. If your willing to 'have a go' with MATLAB and try the extensive math functions this would be a excellent and sensibly priced introduction to either math or engineering studies
