Getting Started With Matlab: Version 6: A Quick Introduction for Scientists and Engineers

Rating:
Summary: Excellent to learn with and then use as a reference.
Review: I never learned Matlab as a BSEE student, but use it extensively as a grad student EE. I learned Matlab very quickly with this book and continue to use it as a basic reference. It does not go into depth in DSP, creating graphics, or the optional Matlab toolbox functions, but its a great starting point to learn Matlab.

Summary: A Quick Introduction...
Review: I started hearing about MATLAB when I started going to college to do my bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering. I took a C++ class and I really enjoyed the power of C++ in problem solving and logic.

Then came MATLAB which is a class that is required to be taken by all EE students. I got this book because it had the word "quick". Time is a very important factor when it comes to learning a new language, whether a living language (like French) or a programming language (like C++ or MATLAB).

This book is really a nice way to get you started with confidence. I rarely use the assigned book for the class, I use this one instead. Very easy to read and step by step instructions.

Highly recommended for anyone who's just started working on MATLAB.

Even after you get used to MATLAB, this book can be used as a reference book to find some important commands with examples and illustrtions.
