Free Matlab eBooks

MATLAB is an interactive, matrix-based system for scientic and engineering numeric computation and visualization. Here is the list of the best free matlab eBooks that will help you to use matlab.

1) Introduction to Matlab, Ross L. Spencer

This is a tutorial to help you get started in Matlab. To find more details see the very helpful book Mastering MATLAB 6 by Duane Hanselman and Bruce Littlefield. Examples of Matlab code in this pamphlet are in typewriter font like this. As you read through the sections below type and execute in Matlab all of the examples, either at the command line prompt or in a test program you make called test.m. Longer sections of code are flagged with the characters %begin and %end. All of the Matlab code between these two flags can be found in files of the form Ex5 1a.m (for Example 5.1a) which you can find on the Physics 330 web page at www.physics.byu.edu. This booklet can also be used as a reference manual because it is short, it has lots of examples, and it has a table of contents and an index. It is almost true that the basics of Matlab are in sections 1-9 while physics applications are in sections 9-17.

3) MATLAB Primer, Kermit Sigmon

The Third Edition of the MATLAB Primer is based on version 4.0/4.1 of MATLAB. While this edition reflects an extensive general revision of the Second Edition, most signi cant is the new information to help one begin to use the major new features of version 4.0/4.1, the sparse matrix and enhanced graphics capabilities. The plain TEX source and corresponding PostScript le of the latest printing of the MATLAB Primer are always available via anonymous ftp from: Address: math.ufl.edu Directory: pub/matlab Files: primer.tex, primer.ps You are advised to download anew each term the latest printing of the Primer since minor improvements and corrections may have been made in the interim. If ftp is unavailable to you, the Primer can be obtained via listserv by sending an email message to listserv@ math.ufl.edu containing the single line send matlab/primer.tex. Also available at this ftp site are both English (primer35.tex, primer35.ps) and Spanish (primer35sp.tex, primer35sp.ps) versions of the Second Edition of the Primer, which was based on version 3.5 of MATLAB. The Spanish translation is by Celestino Montes, University of Seville, Spain. A Spanish translation of the Third Edition is under development. Users of the Primer usually appreciate the convenience and durability of a bound copy with a cover, copy center style.
