MATLAB is an interactive system for numerical computation that is widely used for teaching and research in industry and academia. It provides a modern programming language and problem solving environment, with powerful data structures, customizable graphics and easy-to-use editing and debugging tools. This third edition of MATLAB Guide completely revises and updates the best-selling second edition and is more than 25 percent longer. The book remains a lively, concise introduction to the most popular and important features of MATLAB and the Symbolic Math Toolbox. Key features are a tutorial in Chapter 1 that gives a hands-on overview of MATLAB, a thorough treatment of MATLAB mathematics, including the linear algebra and numerical analysis functions and the differential equation solvers and a web page that provides a link to example program files, updates and links to MATLAB resources. The new edition contains color figures throughout, includes pithy discussions of related topics in new "Asides" boxes that augment the text, has new chapters on the Parallel Computing Toolbox, object-oriented programming, graphs and large data sets, covers important new MATLAB data types such as categorical arrays, string arrays, tall arrays, tables and timetables, contains more on MATLAB workflow, including the Live Editor and unit tests, and fully reflects major updates to the MATLAB graphics system.
