Synopsis

This fifth edition extends the MATLAB Primer, representing the significant features introduced in MATLAB 5 and reflecting a dramatic change in the text . This pocket book serves as an excellent resource for students and engineers requiring a high-level introduction and handy reference to MATLAB 5, helping readers to learn efficiently and independently without having to delve through manuals.
MATLAB integrates computation, visualization, and programming in a flexible, open environment - offering engineers and scientists an intuitive language for expressing problems and their solutions mathematically and graphically. Complex numerical problems can be solved in a fraction of the time required with other programming languages, such as FORTRAN or C.
Updated by numerous members involved with product development at The MathWorks, this exceptional revision provides the student and user with a quick, accessible, hands-on guide to the latest version of MATLAB.

Review

I believe that the beginners and casual readers of MATLAB will find the little book very helpful as a companion when trying to run the software. ...The convenient size makes it a nice book to have around, for quick help on usage of a command or a little intro on some new topic.
