This book presents the MATLAB computer programming system as a problemsolving

tool for scientists and engineers who have no prior knowledge of computer

programming. It is based on a teach-yourself approach readers are frequently

invited to experiment for themselves in order to discover how particular constructs

work. The text was originally written as a companion to a hands-on course at the

University of Cape Town. Most of the students taking the course had little or no

computing experience and came from disadvantaged backgrounds. Consequently

the book assumes that readers have no knowledge of computing, unlike most

similar books on MATLAB.-(2007 Elsevier)Essential Matlab for Engineers and Scientists(3rd Edition)
