engineering—it would behoove you to at least learn the basics of this powerful tool.; J6 q, n% Q) k1 L. e+ W
There are three good reasons to learn a computational mathematics tool. The first is
( u1 t( D9 I# X' b3 y) b. mthat it serves as a background check for work you might be doing by hand. If you are" o2 Q! `5 H6 ]
a student, it’s nice to have a back up that you can use to check your answers. I advise
+ E0 p# R* Z/ Z1 G0 R8 ?that you don’t become co-dependent on a computational tool or trust it as though it

MATLAB or any other tool to check your work to make sure it’s correct.
, p% r6 L. I; H' DThe second reason is having a tool like MATLAB is priceless for generating: a% Q* d& s1 c
plots and for doing numerical methods. Instead of having to go through a tedious

Thirdly, the bottom line is that at some point in your career you will have to use$ s' Y5 k) f5 {( I5 T0 C

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& R, J; M4 R; Q9 f7 p% O( k
