About this title

Synopsis:

Matlab is an interactive system for numerical computation that is widely used for teaching and research in industry and academia. It provides a modern programming language and problem solving environment, with powerful data structures, customizable graphics, and easy-to-use editing and debugging tools.This second edition of Matlab Guide completely revises and updates the best-selling first edition and is more than 30% longer. The book remains a lively, concise introduction to the most popular and important features of Matlab 7 and the Symbolic Math Toolbox.Key features of the second edition include: - Aimed at both beginners and more experienced users, including students, researchers, and practitioners.- Gives a hands-on overview of Matlab 7.- Thorough treatment of Matlab mathematics, including the linear algebra and numerical analysis functions and the differential equation solvers.- A new chapter, Case Studies, presents more substantial examples of the use of Matlab in a variety of modern applications.- A new appendix lists the 111 most useful Matlab functions.- Describes Matlab 7, but can also be used with earlier versions.- A Web page for the book at http://www.siam.org/books/ot92 provides example M-files, updates, and links to Matlab resources.
