"The figures and examples are the best part of this text. Clear and concise, they convey the material in a meaningful way."--Trevor S. Elliott, University of Tennessee at Chattanooga"I have tried a number of other introductory MATLAB texts and this book stands out in comparison. After just one hour of sitting with the book and trying out MATLAB, students will feel comfortable using the software."--Shahriar Anwar, Arizona State University
