Preface P$ Q3 o# r. _. M
MATLAB is one of the most widely used computational tools in science and

engineering—it would behoove you to at least learn the basics of this powerful tool.
& K+ G: h; k* L0 w8 kThere are three good reasons to learn a computational mathematics tool. The first is
% L8 T& b: r6 w! L, r+ ethat it serves as a background check for work you might be doing by hand. If you are
2 f; t2 `/ G' Ya student, it’s nice to have a back up that you can use to check your answers. I advise0 _* F1 x! \$ i( L
that you don’t become co-dependent on a computational tool or trust it as though it4 o: X0 h* w+ Y. G, O% ]3 i
were an Oracle. Do your work by hand when requested by your professors and just use
, t$ d1 u1 ]4 P; @MATLAB or any other tool to check your work to make sure it’s correct.

plots and for doing numerical methods. Instead of having to go through a tedious

Now a word about this particular book. This book is aimed squarely at the MATLAB

MATLAB. Rather, the purpose of this book is to introduce a person new to MATLAB

learning how to use MATLAB to do some basic things-plot functions, solve algebraic
