Summary

Learn Two Popular Programming Languages in a Single Volume

Widely used by scientists and engineers, MATLAB® and open-source Octave are similar software programmes offering powerful data analysis and visualisation capabilities. Essential MATLAB and Octave provides a clear introduction to both languages using straightforward explanations and examples from mathematics, engineering, finance, and physics. The book covers basic syntax, functions, procedures, platform availability, and key elements for each programming environment.

This self-contained guide requires no prior knowledge, allowing readers to study topics in any order. It includes commands and structures compatible with both MATLAB and Octave, clearly noting when examples apply to only one platform. The text aims to enhance readers' coding skills and the ability to implement computational models across different disciplines.

Description

Learn Two Popular Programming Languages in a Single Volume

Widely used by scientists and engineers, well-established MATLAB® and open-source Octave are similar software programs providing excellent capabilities for data analysis, visualization, and more. Through straightforward explanations and examples from different areas in mathematics, engineering, finance, and physics, Essential MATLAB and Octave explains how MATLAB and Octave are powerful tools applicable to a variety of problems. This text provides an introduction that reveals basic structures and syntax, demonstrates the use of functions and procedures, outlines availability on various platforms, and highlights the most important elements for both programs.

Effectively Implement Models and Prototypes Using Computational Models

This text requires no prior knowledge. Self-contained, it allows the reader to use the material whenever needed rather than follow a particular order. Compatible with both languages, the book material incorporates commands and structures that allow the reader to gain a greater awareness of MATLAB and Octave, write their own code, and implement their scripts and programs within a variety of applicable fields. It is always made clear when particular examples apply only to MATLAB or only to Octave, allowing the book to be used flexibly depending on readers’ requirements.

Includes brief, simple code that works in both MATLAB and Octave
Provides exercise sections at the end of each chapter
Introduces framed examples and discussions with a scientific twist
Exercises are provided at the end of each chapter

Essential MATLAB and Octave offers an introductory course in MATLAB and Octave programming and is an authoritative resource for students in physics, mathematics, statistics, engineering, and any other subjects that require the use of computers to solve numerical problems.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

"Simply, this is an ideal textbook for those who wish to learn elements of scientific programming but hesitate to make the first step. … skillfully leads the reader from elementary topics to more advanced applications." —Applications of Mathematics, 60, 2015

"This is an excellent book for anyone approaching MATLAB or Octave for the first time. The pleasant language used throughout creates the sensation of having the author by your side.… The examples quickly show how to produce high-quality scientific plots, which is very attractive to students. The margin notes serve as useful virtual bookmarks."
