Excelent book to beginners of Matlab

With this book I learnt to use Matlab. Matlab was always a nightmare for me, because I don't recognize, how Matlab works because I prefered to programming with C++. When I read this book, I understood all the things that before I didn't understand. The way the authors wrote the book is the key of the success of this book, because they're using a easy form to explain all the topics. I also recommend the next book of them, to the v6. and v.7.

Very good reference

I'm an experience programmer and I learned Matlab from this book but I never really read it. Typically, I used it as a reference, looking up a function when I needed it. I'm just amazed that after 1 year (of full time matlab programming, I wrote a matlab toolbox myself), I'm still using the book. You find what you're looking for easylly from the index. It's clear, short but very deep and detailled and the chapter are cleverly organized. That's the best programming book I've been using. I would like all of them to be like that.

This BooK is very Easy understand, ilustrative, in summary is EcxelentThank's

The best book on Matlab programming

The Mathworks improves their manuals with every edition, but this book is an all but necessary addition. The authors provide solid how-to advice. They organize the material well for new learners. They provide functions which are better than some of the standard versions. I use this book as the text when I teach Matlab programming.

One of the best available book on the MATLAB language

I had used the author's previous edition and found it to be just fair. This new edition, which concentrates on the latest version of MATLAB is an excellent book and a vast improvement. Gone is the simple reproduction of MATLAB help files. This book is a good tutorial in that it provides many examples and procedes from the most elementary concepts to the quite advanced; it is also an excellent reference containing a brief discussion of the many functions that are available but cannot be discussed at length. The user can always access the help files to get the syntax correct. There may be a "bult-in" function that they have missed, but it must be very obscure. I would highly recommend this book for both the MATLAB beginner and for the experienced user who may not be entirely familar with the capabilities of version 5. Be advised however, that this is a book about MATLAB and not tutorial in linear (matrix) algebra. Dolores Etter's books (also by Prentice-Hall) are more suited to that purpose.
