For scientists and engineers who have no prior knowledge of computer programming, this work presents the MATLAB computer programming system as a problem solving tool. Readers are invited to experiment for themselves in order to discover how particular constructs work. MATLAB can be used in two distinct modes. It offers immediate execution of statements, or even groups of statements, in the command window. It also offers conventional programming by means of script files.

For scientists and engineers who have no prior knowledge of computer programming, this work presents the MATLAB computer programming system as a problem solving tool. Readers are invited to experiment for themselves in order to discover how particular constructs work. MATLAB can be used in two distinct modes. It offers immediate execution of statements, or even groups of statements, in the command window. It also offers conventional programming by means of script files. The fundamentals of MATLAB are illustrated throughout with many examples, from a number of different scientific and engineering areas, such as simulation, population modelling, and numerical methods, as well as from business and everyday life. Beginners as well as experienced programmers wishing to learn MATLAB as an additional language should therefore find this work of interest.
