Synopses & Reviews
The Matlab 5 Handbook is an easily accessible reference tool and first resource for the numerical computation system MATLAB. Each MATLAB command, in both the standard library and the applications toolboxes, is described in a precise, concise, and consistent manner. Topics, including calculus, linear algebra, graphics, and more, are explained in context. The Matlab 5 Handbook begins with MATLABQuickstart, an introductory session which will help get the reader off to a flying start. Each section then begins with a practical introduction to the subject area. There is also an introduction to MATLAB programming as a whole. Each entry includes the command name, common types of parameter sequences, description, type of output to expect, additional hints and information, and extensive cross references. Everyone who uses MATLAB in more than the most cursory fashion will find this book a helpful tool, not only because of its structure, but because it combines elements previously not available in any other book or in on-line help files for MATLAB. It is fully up to date for MATLAB 5.
Synopsis
How to Use This Handbook The MATLAB Handbook is a complete reference tool for the MATLAB computation language, and is written for all MATLAB users, regardless of their discipline or field(s) of interest. All the built-in mathematical, graphic, and system-based commands avail able in MATLAB 51 are detailed herein. Overall Organization One of the main premises of The MATLAB Handbook is that most MATLAB users ap proach the system to solve a particular problem (or set of problems) in a specific subject area. Therefore, all commands are organized in logical subsets that reflect these different categories (e.g., linear equations, ordinary differential equations, sur face and volume graphics, etc.) and the commands within a subset are explained in a similar language, creating a tool that allows you quick and confident access to the information necessary to complete the problem you have brought to the system. In addition, because there is much information about MATLAB that is very difficult to express on a purely command-by-command basis, each subject is prefaced with an introductory section. Here, detailed examples are given, profiling some of the most common applications of the commands in that particular section. There is also an introductory session, titled MATLAB Quick Start, which is intended to get those readers not already familiar with MATLAB off to a flying start."

Synopsis
An easily accessible reference tool and first resource, providing the reader with a definitive listing of each Matlab element, in both the standard library and the applications toolboxes, together with a brief, yet precise description of its working. It also contains a well-structured organisation of the available Matlab elements into logical subject areas, where each relevant element is described in terms of its connection to the subject area as a whole. This is backed by a practical introduction to each subject area and to Matlab programming as a whole, as well as cross-references to the most popular Matlab manuals and application texts.
