great book for undergrad studies

wonderful book for assisting with MATLAB. I'm an undergraduate engineering student and i would not have gotten through my course in Numerical Methods without the help of this book! highly recommended.

MatLab review

The product arrived quickly in very good condition. There are no pages missing, the cover is undamaged, and there are little to no marks on the inside.

can be used for most versions of Matlab

[A review of the 2nd edition.] The 2nd edition includes descriptions of Matlab 7. But in fact, much of the text seems unchanged from the 1st edition. Because while Matlab continues to add refinements, it is by now very stable in its core functionality. Thus, at least for beginners, the book is useful, regardless of which precise version of Matlab is on your machine. Many of the examples are indeed quite easy. The underlying maths knowledge is at the undergraduate level. Say for 1st or 2nd year undergrad maths courses. One example uses Lagrange's equation in classical mechanics. That seems to be about as advanced as matters get. The graphical capability of Matlab given by the book is equivalent to what Mathematica provides. Though perhaps the latter has somewhat spiffier graphics, the graphical functionality is about the same.
