MATLAB, a software package for high-performance numerical computation and visualization, is a tool widely used across engineering departments today. Its broad appeal lies in its interactive environment with hundreds of built-in functions for technical computation, graphics, and animation. It provides easy extensibility with its own high-level programming language. This text is intended to get the reader started in MATLAB quickly and pleasantly. Designed to get the reader up and running with MATLAB in a few short hours, chapters one and two provide a thorough introduction to the basics and five self-guided lessons. Remaining chapters cover useful and interesting elementary, advanced, and special MATLAB functions. This text is intended for engineering and science students looking for a quick introduction to MATLAB.
