The Student Edition of Matlab Version 5 User's Guide

MATLAB is the technical computing environment widely used by scientists and engineers; the student edition allows for its affordable use in undergraduate and graduate studies. This book provides a tutorial for MATLAB, plus documentation for three special toolboxes bundled with The Student Edition of MATLAB CD-ROMs: signal processing, control systems, and symbolic math. It can also be used as student documentation for academic site licenses and computer lab installations of the professional version of MATLAB. The availability of the student edition coincides with the availability of the professional MATLAB 5 so that students' home copies and on-campus computer lab licenses of the professional version can be synchronized.
