Essential MATLAB for Engineers and Scientists, Third Edition

Part I is concerned with those aspects of MATLAB which you need to know in order to get to grips with the essentials of MATLAB and of technical computing. Chapters 11, 12 and 13 are marked with an asterisk, *. Some sections in other chapters are similarly marked. These sections and chapters can be skipped in your first reading and step-up-step execution of all of the MATLAB commands and scripts described in your book. This book is a tutorial and, hence, you are expected to use MATLAB extensively while you go through the text.
