MATLAB : An Introduction with Applications （5TH）

[Book Description]

MATLAB: An Introduction with Applications 5th Edition walks readers through the ins and outs of this powerful software for technical computing. The text describes basic features of the program and shows how to use it in simple arithmetic operations with scalars. The topic of arrays (the basis of MATLAB) is examined, along with a wide range of other applications. MATLAB: An Introduction with Applications 5th Edition is presented gradually and in great detail, generously illustrated through computer screen shots and step-by-step tutorials, and applied in problems in mathematics, science, and engineering.
