engineering—it would behoove you to at least learn the basics of this powerful tool.! u3 Z' S, u+ z8 J( v7 ]
There are three good reasons to learn a computational mathematics tool. The first is

a student, it’s nice to have a back up that you can use to check your answers. I advise

were an Oracle. Do your work by hand when requested by your professors and just use8 S7 [5 g9 Q! ?& j4 G2 D. @9 Q
MATLAB or any other tool to check your work to make sure it’s correct.

plots and for doing numerical methods. Instead of having to go through a tedious, S) ]0 _7 J9 o% H

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
