MATLAB For Dummies

As with most Dummies books, this does help understand the product. But, also as always, there is nothing like what you have to do to get to Carnegie Hall: Practice, Practice, Practice. But, I do recommend that if you're not going to take a formal class, try this.

Good synopsis of MATLAB for an experienced engineer or analyst new to using MATLAB for work settings. Discusses the fundamentals for using MATLAB software.

Like most "Dummies" books, "MATLAB for Dummies" makes a suitable and valuable starting point. And like most "Dummies" books, it contains several mistakes -- that just means that you must keep your wits about you, and treat the book as a set of guided exercises for you to perform and see what really works. Worth getting (I got the Kindle edition). From here I would like a more comprehensive and systematic technical reference. I usually look to O'Reilly Media for that, but oddly they do not publish anything on MATLAB.

The features within Matlab are totally mind boggling. This little book gets you up and running fast. IN short it lets you get on with the job at hand rather than spend an inordinate amount of time learning how to operate a program. Kudoos for Dummies

Not a lot of content. Also content is deeply buried in over explanation.

As good and easy to follow as I expected it to be. A great resource, even for the Ph.D. level class I am taking.

My college sophomore will use this for an aide to assist her in her coding class.

Bought this to get an idea for Matlab before I take the intro class this semester. I got about halfway through and feel way better about the subject.

This book will give a basic grasp of MatLab and is not an in depth study of MatLab. But to the point and clear, no long winded explanations. However, for an in depth understanding of Matlab, other books should be used in conjunction.

Information is so clear with easy understandable word and Explanation is so clear with detail information so, I recommend to buy this

Excellent book for starters, its like having a teacher next to you explaining the basics. I did my bachelor in economics and now i'm doing my masters in financial economics and there was a huge lack of programing software.. We started using matlab in financial econometrics and with absolutely no background. The teacher simply gives us the coding to run but whats the use if half of the class doesnt now how matlab works. This book is really simple to read and its very helpfull for starters to learn the basics of matlabs!

Good initial level book
