Preface
4 _% Q# p7 q! V. c8 }) b1 J$ EMATLAB is one of the most widely used computational tools in science and

# y$ Y! b0 [1 b8 M7 ]0 g% n7 Q. d+ R( Nengineering—it would behoove you to at least learn the basics of this powerful tool.
& W+ I/ X4 r) l6 p# ~. |There are three good reasons to learn a computational mathematics tool. The first is
; W& k0 s( e Z8 Zthat it serves as a background check for work you might be doing by hand. If you are% H9 M) g Z1 l# T# w' D7 n
a student, it’s nice to have a back up that you can use to check your answers. I advise2 d! F' J M9 n5 X6 W3 ^
that you don’t become co-dependent on a computational tool or trust it as though it
5 A5 U& \. y9 ] @( y9 g6 Gwere an Oracle. Do your work by hand when requested by your professors and just use6 k* r: e# h" F, T0 y$ H$ R
MATLAB or any other tool to check your work to make sure it’s correct.
, _# G. |5 v% D8 M5 Q" {7 qThe second reason is having a tool like MATLAB is priceless for generating7 R8 r$ w# {! ~0 i& `0 y3 }! ~9 j f! i; R
plots and for doing numerical methods. Instead of having to go through a tedious

the work you’re doing can’t be done by hand and will require a numerical solution.

Now a word about this particular book. This book is aimed squarely at the MATLAB5 }- \9 T; Y- w; D( b5 Y9 l! }5 ]
beginner. The purpose is not to wow experts with complicated solutions built with4 i) E- r$ ?4 y+ c$ M
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# M0 G. o" [" @( K: s& F. _

you have never touched MATLAB before or are having lot’s of trouble with it, this
