Preface

engineering. No matter what your background—be it physics, chemistry, math, or8 x3 B5 b3 s; w: _
engineering—it would behoove you to at least learn the basics of this powerful tool.
) V% P. v. Z# v' C% `) K3 M8 }There are three good reasons to learn a computational mathematics tool. The first is8 q2 r" ^# M6 q! [' d& J' z
that it serves as a background check for work you might be doing by hand. If you are
& }$ P. Z1 h& F) A9 x) G& oa student, it’s nice to have a back up that you can use to check your answers. I advise! j8 b( G+ }% F
that you don’t become co-dependent on a computational tool or trust it as though it; l( c- [ R) }9 \% ?! m' e. V
were an Oracle. Do your work by hand when requested by your professors and just use, G) w+ P. _( Q+ O# B
MATLAB or any other tool to check your work to make sure it’s correct.
2 f2 A, X5 x1 R" b$ G* sThe second reason is having a tool like MATLAB is priceless for generating8 w; R0 P" K8 Q9 I7 l, l
plots and for doing numerical methods. Instead of having to go through a tedious1 ^) q+ a5 A8 g6 D0 R) l
process of plotting something by hand you can just have MATLAB generate any y7 b+ |7 _& w' g
nice plot you desire.8 [, B3 @# q. v+ g
Thirdly, the bottom line is that at some point in your career you will have to use

one point or another you are going to be working on a project where analytical

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.; Q4 ~2 N3 Q' x5 ]
Now a word about this particular book. This book is aimed squarely at the MATLAB
% I! U8 A+ Y& y: Vbeginner. The purpose is not to wow experts with complicated solutions built with3 Q2 [ x, w, d! B3 z$ i
MATLAB. Rather, the purpose of this book is to introduce a person new to MATLAB
! [0 \# m9 D* B* w3 s" Gto the world of computational mathematics. The approach taken here is to set about: y* Z% j& J0 m6 k5 x8 k7 x
learning how to use MATLAB to do some basic things-plot functions, solve algebraic1 e( T$ F/ l: l7 m; W1 k* r+ h
equations, compute integrals and solve differential equations for example. So the
