Highly recommended!
Customer Rating:
This is a huge and comprehensive book about MATLAB but definitely not for beginners. It can also be used as a reference. It covers everything you need to know about MATLAB - even classes and object-oriented programming. However, if you are just beginning to learn MATLAB, you may want to check the book "MATLAB for Beginners: A Gentle Approach".
Many topics, not so many details
Customer Rating:
This book is very good if you are a not familiar with matlab. From the beginning it gives you the possibility to understand matlab world with many practical examples. However if you are looking for a detailed description of specific arguments i.e, polynomial interpolation, p.d.e., neural networks, then it's better to give a look to other books.
Not bad, but not great
Customer Rating:
This book was presented at a much lower level than I expected. I would find it hard to "master matlab" using this book, but I suppose it is good for people with very little programming background. If you know how to program and simply want a book to quickly bring you up to speed look elsewhere - this book is a somewhat watered down and slow.
good book
Customer Rating:
I purchased this textbook for the matlab course taken in university. I always can find something interesting or useful inside of it, and knowledge inside of it was all written in details.
MatLab programming
Customer Rating:
I use this book everyday. It is easy to find what you need right away. Although, MatLab has demos that you can use to write programs or m-scripts, the book has features that are not in the demos that will make writing scripts much easier. It doesn't go into great detail with more difficult plots but allows for the those who just need 1-D, 2-D and simple 3-D plots to plot data points easily and fast. This is definitely the bible for first time users of MatLab.
