Preface

; Z) ?2 N2 K* R: `engineering—it would behoove you to at least learn the basics of this powerful tool.; O4 n% H" d6 r; M! @
There are three good reasons to learn a computational mathematics tool. The first is' G1 f' w2 j0 t
that it serves as a background check for work you might be doing by hand. If you are
0 l; N; B# x2 E- {5 r5 `( r! La student, it’s nice to have a back up that you can use to check your answers. I advise
/ @& S6 X8 M, Z' k* t" ]that you don’t become co-dependent on a computational tool or trust it as though it1 c6 a5 j# H" @0 B3 ]. X
were an Oracle. Do your work by hand when requested by your professors and just use1 o' ?* B. l9 `* s) O
MATLAB or any other tool to check your work to make sure it’s correct.
9 j9 B4 g- f! H2 ^ T: \/ LThe second reason is having a tool like MATLAB is priceless for generating
( c2 k# J# q$ j# a }, v/ Zplots and for doing numerical methods. Instead of having to go through a tedious6 D- h: Y+ ]" s- c: E h- |: Y
process of plotting something by hand you can just have MATLAB generate any) H, Y3 k* A+ I' r! W" Y( u
nice plot you desire.
2 x& e, a8 a$ u8 w. C% dThirdly, the bottom line is that at some point in your career you will have to use

companies. Knowing MATLAB will definitely be a plus on your resume.5 `2 q8 A& A( R" k0 [
Now a word about this particular book. This book is aimed squarely at the MATLAB+ Q6 N6 @( X, b' L
beginner. The purpose is not to wow experts with complicated solutions built with
2 T" a: ~) Q- f- oMATLAB. Rather, the purpose of this book is to introduce a person new to MATLAB! X* s7 @' B m3 Y9 q5 n
to the world of computational mathematics. The approach taken here is to set about5 f2 r# h; o6 X
learning how to use MATLAB to do some basic things-plot functions, solve algebraic& j ]0 N3 d7 i3 ]
equations, compute integrals and solve differential equations for example. So the
; h8 R; b" C4 M& Q, ^examples we present in this book are going to be ** and aimed at the novice. If7 @6 G K% p0 N
you have never touched MATLAB before or are having lot’s of trouble with it, this6 M! q* l% A2 G5 G! r
book will help you build a basic skill set that can be used to master it. The book is a
/ ?# N# `3 s- g. Dstepping stone to mastery and nothing more. |
