Learn Two Popular Programming Languages in a Single Volume

Widely used by scientists and engineers, well-established MATLAB (R) and open-source Octave are similar software programs providing excellent capabilities for data analysis, visualization, and more. By means of 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 in 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
