engineering. No matter what your background—be it physics, chemistry, math, or
5 N- d' W) K6 U+ F& {7 T& ?) [engineering—it would behoove you to at least learn the basics of this powerful tool.
; _( [7 P/ j& g. |' \There are three good reasons to learn a computational mathematics tool. The first is/ }3 ~+ z$ C7 B2 x
that it serves as a background check for work you might be doing by hand. If you are4 n8 ]9 W: D6 F( K# g6 Q- B' D
a student, it’s nice to have a back up that you can use to check your answers. I advise: S* M9 I$ c, c: x. n
that you don’t become co-dependent on a computational tool or trust it as though it$ d+ i. u$ y+ d$ M+ j
were an Oracle. Do your work by hand when requested by your professors and just use
: Z- M# q6 ^4 F5 H8 Y$ ?! @5 WMATLAB or any other tool to check your work to make sure it’s correct.
/ \9 u6 \% d( A8 `, MThe second reason is having a tool like MATLAB is priceless for generating4 ?" e0 v4 s& k
plots and for doing numerical methods. Instead of having to go through a tedious
) [, o$ s+ j5 I) k+ vprocess of plotting something by hand you can just have MATLAB generate any' y! V9 b, P) z/ S9 b: d
nice plot you desire.$ `$ j% ~8 r5 a
Thirdly, the bottom line is that at some point in your career you will have to use8 J+ l' a9 k' G( n! |) J
a computational mathematics tool. If you’re a professor doing theoretical work, at( t- w. N. v6 w9 ~' h! V- ^5 @2 B
one point or another you are going to be working on a project where analytical/ b/ G8 B4 w5 g& Y
solutions are not possible. If you work in industry or in a national lab, chances are% {! T$ s! D A0 _
the work you’re doing can’t be done by hand and will require a numerical solution.

companies. Knowing MATLAB will definitely be a plus on your resume.

beginner. The purpose is not to wow experts with complicated solutions built with
. ?7 P( u3 Z$ U! ^) vMATLAB. Rather, the purpose of this book is to introduce a person new to MATLAB
% q6 p2 r$ Q% K) e7 f7 b4 g3 M' oto the world of computational mathematics. The approach taken here is to set about
- d0 [) I X$ Zlearning how to use MATLAB to do some basic things-plot functions, solve algebraic
9 N) e% A& ^/ o/ E' {equations, compute integrals and solve differential equations for example. So the
! P1 ?) s$ x- o+ C1 T+ ~9 U" C/ f9 |examples we present in this book are going to be ** and aimed at the novice. If
