Gilat A. MatLAB. An Introduction with Applications

6th edition. — Hoboken: Wiley, 2017. — 411 p.MatLAB is a very popular language for technical computing used by students, engineers, and scientists in universities, research institutes, and industries all over the world. The software is popular because it is powerful and easy to use. For university freshmen it can be thought of as the next tool to use after the graphic calculator in high school.
This book was written following several years of teaching the software to freshmen in an introductory engineering course. The objective was to write a
book that teaches the software in a friendly, non-intimidating fashion. Therefore, the book is written in simple and direct language. In many places bullets, rather than lengthy text, are used to list facts and details that are related to a specific topic. The book includes numerous sample problems in mathematics, science, and engineering that are similar to problems encountered by new users of MatLAB.
This sixth edition of the book is updated to MatLAB Release 2016a. In addition, the end of chapter problems have been revised. In Chapters 1 through close to 70% of the problems are new or different than in previous editions.
