A Guide to MATLAB This book is a short,focused introduction to MATLAB,a comprehen- sive software system for mathematics and technical computing.It will be useful to both beginning and experienced users.It contains concise explanations of essential MATLAB commands,as well as easily under- stood instructions for using MATLAB's programming features,graphi- cal capabilities,and desktop interface.It also includes an introduction to SIMULINK,a companion to MATLAB for system simulation. Written for MATLAB 6,this book can also be used with earlier(and later)versions of MATLAB.This book contains worked-out examples of applications of MATLAB to interesting problems in mathematics, engineering,economics,and physics.In addition,it contains explicit instructions for using MATLAB's Microsoft Word interface to produce polished,integrated,interactive documents for reports,presentations, or online publishing. This book explains everything you need to know to begin using MATLAB to do all these things and more.Intermediate and advanced users will find useful information here,especially if they are making the switch to MATLAB 6 from an earlier version. Brian R.Hunt is an Associate Professor of Mathematics at the Univer- sity of Maryland.Professor Hunt has coauthored four books on math- ematical software and more than 30 journal articles.He is currently involved in research on dynamical systems and fractal geometry. Ronald L.Lipsman is a Professor of Mathematics and Associate Dean of the College of Computer,Mathematical,and Physical Sciences at the University of Maryland.Professor Lipsman has coauthored five books on mathematical software and more than 70 research articles.Professor Lipsman was the recipient of both the NATO and Fulbright Fellowships. Jonathan M.Rosenberg is a Professor of Mathematics at the Univer- sity of Maryland.Professor Rosenberg is the author of two books on mathematics (one of them coauthored by R.Lipsman and K.Coombes) and the coeditor of Novikou Conjectures,Index Theorems,and Rigidity, a two-volume set from the London Mathematical Society Lecture Note Series(Cambridge University Press,1995)
