Synopsis

With the spread of the powerhouse MATLAB® software into nearly every area of math, science, and engineering, it is important to have a strong introduction to using the software. Updated for version 7.0, MATLAB® Primer, Seventh Edition offers such an introduction as well as a "pocketbook" reference for everyday users of the software. It offers an intuitive language for expressing problems and solutions both numerically and graphically.

The latest edition in this best-selling series, MATLAB® Primer, Seventh Edition incorporates a number of enhancements such as changes to the desktop, new features for developing M-files, the JIT accelerator, and an easier way of importing Java classes. In addition to the features new to version 7.0, this book includes:

A new section on M-Lint, the new debugger for M-files

A new chapter on calling Java from MATLAB and using Java objects inside the MATLAB workspace

A new chapter on calling Fortran from MATLAB

A new chapter on solving equations: symbolic and numeric polynomials, nonlinear equations, and differential equations

A new chapter on cell publishing, which replaces the "notebook" feature and allows the creation of Word, LaTeX, PowerPoint, and HTML documents with executable MATLAB commands and their outputs

Expanded Graphics coverage-including the 3D parametrically defined seashells on the front and back covers

Whether you are new to MATLAB, new to version 7.0, or simply in need of a hands-on, to-the-point reference, MATLAB® Primer provides the tools you need in a conveniently sized, economically priced pocketbook.

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.
