From the Back Cover

Master MATLAB®!

If you want a clear, easy-to-use introduction to MATLAB®, this book is for you! The Third Edition of Amos Gilat’s popular MATLAB®, An Introduction with Applications requires no previous knowledge of MATLAB and computer programming as it helps you understand and apply this incredibly useful and powerful mathematical tool.

Thoroughly updated to match MATLAB®’s newest release, MATLAB® 7.3 (R2007b), the text takes you step by step through MATLAB®’s basic features—from simple arithmetic operations with scalars, to creating and using arrays, to three-dimensional plots and solving differential equations. You’ll appreciate the many features that make it easy to grasp the material and become proficient in using MATLAB®, including:

  • Sample and homework problems that help you hands-on practice solving the kinds of problems you’ll encounter in future science and engineering courses
  • New coverage of the Workspace Window and the save and load commands, Anonymous Functions, Function Functions, Function Handles, Subfunctions and Nested Functions
  • In-depth discussions of script files, 2-D and 3-D plotting, function files, programming (flow control), polynomials, curve fitting, interpolation, and applications in numerical analysis

By showing you not just how MATLAB® works but how to use it with real-world applications in mathematics, science, and engineering, MATLAB®, An Introduction with Applications, Third Edition will turn you into a MATLAB® master faster than you imagined.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow. Clear and easy introduction to Matlab .
Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2013

I needed to learn how to use Matlab to run a complex analysis on a data set with several hundred thousand lines of data. Quite frankly, I never thought I'd be able to do it. I ordered a used copy of this book by Amos Gilat and a used copy of Stormy Attaway's Matlab. I read the first two chapters in each book and was ready to start creating and manipulating matrices in Matlab. Looking in the index, I found the discussion on for-end loops and I wrote my first script with loops. Step by step I am working my way to analyzing my data. Here are my general thoughts. First, Matlab is easier to learn than I expected. For me, it is more like working within a structured program like Stata, SAS, or SPSS than working with a blank-page programming language like R or Python. Second, Matlab is extremely powerful and versatile. It does everything from repetitive calculations to wonderful graphics and visualizations. I am very impressed. Third, both books are great at giving the reader the tools needed to start working with Matlab immediately. You don't need experience programming, but you will want access to Matlab to start practicing commands. Fourth, Matlab does so many things that neither book comes close to giving examples of working on the data the way I plan on analyzing it. For the specifics I have done a lot of Internet searching to find scripts already written to do the kinds of data manipulation and analysis I need to do. These books provide the basic information about working with the program -- creating and manipulating data as matrices, working with functions, and writing commands and scripts. Finally, I find this book by Amos Gilat to be clear, concise, and to the point -- perfect for my needs. So far my experience with Matlab has been so much more positive than I expected, due largely to these two books.

4.0 out of 5 stars If you take a Matlab course, you're going to need this book
Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2013

My Math 151 course at Texas A&M required a lab in which we learned how to make use of Matlab. Why? No one had a particular reason, but that's ok, because the teaching assistants didn't know how to use the program anyway. Given how unhelpful the online tutorials of matlab are, plus the very limited turnaround time to finish assignments, you'll find yourself looking for a good, helpful guide on how to use this frustrating application.

This is that guide.

It lists a large number of the Matlab functions you'll use, explains how the output varies for each of them and really offers you that help that you're so lacking otherwise for the class. Definitely worth your purchase.

This book is fan-tas-tic! I read it all from page to page and all of its eleven chapters within three weeks; I just can't put it down. It's so easy to read, has tons of examples, and show step by step. I love it all. I'm telling you this book is worth every penny! Please, please, please try this book first before spending big money on other books. It's big bang for your buck, seriously!

I agreed with:
. Never realized it could be this great.
. Clear and concise for the beginner.
. Great tutorial and reference for engineers.
. A great Matlab book.
. An excellent reference or learning tool for matlab graphics.
. Good for the absolute beginner.
. very useful!
. Intro to Matlab.

I thought it would have more of an intro to DSP and FDATool but it does not even get to them. What it does cover is basically the 1st introduction video on Georgia Tech's website about MATLAB. Save your money unless you have never touched MATLAB.

Got it for my MATLAB class.

It's a good introduction, but slightly outdate for some functions with the newer versions of MATLAB. But a lot are still the same.

I use it all the time, even lent it to a friend to read and work through.

Easy to read, clearly laid out, examples given (but I've never worked through them).

This book is an intro to Matlab. If you want to learn matlab from scratch, this is a very good book. It starts with very elementary stuff and has many examples. It is a great introductory book.

Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2009

This book was a requirement for my pre-engineering class at Ohio State. Since I am an adult learner with an extensive learning background, I can really appreciate the way the book is laid out. Rather than relying heavily on theory, the book uses real-world engineering examples that spans disciplines for a well-rounded set of example problems. I would only ding the book a half-star because of typographical errors in some of the problems.
