A Friendly Introduction to MATLAB Programming

MATLAB, i.e., matrix laboratory, is a software tool mostly used by engineers. There are numerous books written about MATLAB. However, for a beginner, we believe that it is still time consuming to find the appropriate book for quick learning of the MATLAB fundamentals. Many books include too much material for MATLAB teaching and this slows down the learning speed of the reader, and the reader can still be unaware of the many simple fundamentals even when they complete reading several books. For instance, many students do homework using MATLAB and they draw many graphs using MATLAB but they still do not know how MATLAB draws the graphs.

In this tutorial we focused on the fundamental concepts of MATLAB programming and tried to teach MATLAB programming basics without going into clumsy coding. We paid attention to the simplicity of the programs and tried to teach the basic concepts directly without being lost among long programing lines.
