The MATLAB 5 Handbook

Would you like some practical guidance on the use of MATLAB?

Are you an experienced MATLAB user in need of a complete reference?

Would you like a quick reference to the MATLAB commands?

Would you like to see examples of what a given MATLAB command can do?

Would you like to create user-defined programs in MATLAB code?

Are you looking for an alternative to the manuals and all those MATLAB books tied to specific subjects?

If the answer to any of these questions is yes, then The MATLAB 5 Handbook is a must-have reference for you. It will provide you with the skills to use MATLAB efficiently and effectively, an understanding of the mathematical models underpinning MATLAB and the confidence to explore the potential of MATLAB further.

The MATLAB 5 Handbook features:

Conceptually-close commands grouped together in chapters, sections and tables so that problems can be solved in the easiest possible way

Self-contained chapters which can be read independently of each other

Straightforward examples and demonstrations of the commands

Complete description of MATLAB's powerful graphics package

Step-by-step introduction for the beginner

Thorough description of how MATLAB can be used with C and Fortran

Brief overview of available toolboxes

The book is based on MATLAB 5.2 but can be used with other releases and also with both Student and Professional versions of the software. The authors have successfully developed, tried and tested this material with thousands of students.
