This book is intended to serve as an introductory guide to Matlab for people who have never programmed before. There's a vast amount of free information available on the internet about programming in Matlab. However, if you have never programmed before, it can be difficult to know where to start without getting overwhelmed. This book walks you through some basic commands and concepts in Matlab, which you will use most of the time even when writing fairly complicated programs. A simple, but general approach towards programming is adopted in the book. There's a strong focus on learning to translate problem statements into algorithm and code. The author's hope is that the material discussed in the book will get you to the point where you are comfortable with the idea of exploring involved concepts on your own.
