An interesting feature are the examples used to explain the use of functions and operations. compared to similar texts on Octave and MATLAB, the author introduces at an early stage how to produce line and surface plots with MATLAB and Octave. It is very attractive to students to be able to quickly produce plots with scientific journal quality. The margin notes are great as they can also work as virtual bookmarks when required to come back to the explanation of a MATLAB or Octave command. an easy read that will provide the necessary tools to begin working with MATLAB or Octave in a short period of time ."--Professor Sabino Chávez-Cerda, INAOE, México, OSA Fellow "This well-written book is a must-have for those people starting to solve numerical problems in MATLAB or Octave. Right from the beginning, the reader will appreciate that the bookś major goal is to describe the essential aspects of both languages without giving preferential treatment to either of them. Page by page you will find clear explanations describing the way you should use each programming language. The set of homework problems given at the end of each chapter makes the book even more dynamic. Students and experts will warmly welcome Essential MATLAB and Octave into their libraries. I highly recommend it as an excellent reference tool."-Hiram Luna-Munguia, PhD, Research Assistant, Department of Neurology, University of Michigan"Essential MATLAB and Octave is a superb introductory textbook for those interested in learning how to solve scientific, engineering, and mathematical problems using two of the most popular mathematical programming tools available. The book assumes almost no prior. 
520 8 |a Experience with programming or scientific programming, and carefully takes the reader step-by-step through the use of the two languages for solving increasingly complex problems. It begins with elementary tasks, such as the evaluation of simple functions, and takes the reader through the basics of plotting figures and programming syntax. This leads up to a chapter of more sophisticated examples of problems to suit a diverse range of tastes, including linear algebra applications, the solution of differential equations in physics and biology, signal processing, and problems in mathematical finance. Dr. Rogel-Salazaar has put a huge amount of effort into making the book accessible and user-friendly in a way that makes it suitable even for the most novice of programmers. The layout of the book is used very effectively with boxes that give clear and concise example programs as well as side notes that point out where differences can occur between MATLAB and Octave and that provide references and additional information. Just the right balance of content is chosen for beginners to quickly reach a stage where they can begin to write useful programs of their own. Enough detail is included to point out the power and major stumbling blocks, without overburdening readers with too much detail on the more subtle aspects that they can only come to appreciate after further programming experience. This helps the textbook fill a useful gap in the market and make it an excellent companion to introductory courses on scientific computation in degree programs, as well as an accessible but concise guide to anyone learning how to use such tools by themselves."--Dr. Shashank Virmani, Brunel University London"The text provides a clear and easy paced introduction to MATLAB and Octave. The presentation is example led and contains plenty of useful applications drawn from
