engineering. No matter what your background—be it physics, chemistry, math, or
4 g: c+ _+ d$ L& \# a+ Iengineering—it would behoove you to at least learn the basics of this powerful tool.
% H2 v* E z) L5 B$ ~3 z: UThere are three good reasons to learn a computational mathematics tool. The first is
/ w+ d( B7 X: B3 {that it serves as a background check for work you might be doing by hand. If you are
( v1 \' N" N; }a student, it’s nice to have a back up that you can use to check your answers. I advise0 I9 t6 K4 |* K
that you don’t become co-dependent on a computational tool or trust it as though it1 W0 l- }8 m& B! o8 i1 i2 u
were an Oracle. Do your work by hand when requested by your professors and just use
9 O5 j# _: r( w; X3 p& `MATLAB or any other tool to check your work to make sure it’s correct.6 _4 F( d b+ s$ y+ @1 e: L4 \( T
The second reason is having a tool like MATLAB is priceless for generating K6 j' q' k5 s5 D+ s
plots and for doing numerical methods. Instead of having to go through a tedious
, l" U& L7 I6 U, ?) gprocess of plotting something by hand you can just have MATLAB generate any6 C. {! u6 B' O. q) u. N! A
nice plot you desire.

a computational mathematics tool. If you’re a professor doing theoretical work, at8 g$ ~9 T8 w5 ?1 e' h" G* S
one point or another you are going to be working on a project where analytical9 z3 W+ g" G9 L7 M' W& ^$ ^1 V5 \& {
solutions are not possible. If you work in industry or in a national lab, chances are

MATLAB is widely used in universities, in national laboratories and at private$ [. Q7 X$ X% Q! L3 q8 @1 P; J1 V
companies. Knowing MATLAB will definitely be a plus on your resume.

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

book will help you build a basic skill set that can be used to master it. The book is a; U0 ~3 h; N& S" q9 d+ S
