An Introduction to Programming and Numerical Methods in MATLAB

This text provides a first course in numerical methods and programming taught through the medium of MATLAB. It is designed to give readers their first exposure to any kind of programming. Exposure to MATLAB, and programming in general, is becoming essential for students. It is the standard tool of choice for many universities - in both the mathematics and engineering departments - and it is also used extensively in industry. The level is elementary, avoiding deep mathematical descriptions, and the practical approach makes it accessible to anyone with a modest mathematical background.
