Essentials in MATLAB Programming

MATLAB language is the top-selected computer language in the academic world in automatic control community worldwide. It is also the most suitable computer language for many science and engineering disciplines. In this book, MATLAB is the major computer language used extensively. With the help of MATLAB, scientific computing and simulation problems are studied systematically and thoroughly. Mastering such a high-standard language, it may be helpful for the readers to understand and explore creatively scientific computing and simulation problems, so as to boost the capabilities in solving such problems. Also, it may be helpful in learning other courses. In this chapter, the following essential knowledge on MATLAB programming is presented. The data types and statements structures are discussed. The simple computing facilities are presented.
