Great MATLAB intro
Attaway’s intro to MATLAB is both natural and understandable. The progression through MATLAB’s functions and features makes for an easy-to-follow step-by-step explanation. Usable as both a text and reference, this work is excellent for getting acquainted with and becoming proficient with the ubiquitous mathematics tool.
