The Third Edition of the MATLAB Primer is based on version 4.0/4.1 of MATLAB. While this edition reflects an extensive general revision of the Second Edition, most significant is the new information to help one begin to use the major new features of version
4.0/4.1, the sparse matrix and enhanced graphics capabilities.
The purpose of MATLAB Primer is to help you begin to use MATLAB. It is not intended to be a substitute for the User’s Guide and Reference Guide for MATLAB. The Primer can best be used hands-on. You are encouraged to work at the computer as you read the Primer and freely experiment with examples. This Primer, along with the on-line help facility, usually sufice for students in a class requiring use of MATLAB.
MATLAB is available for a number of environments: Sun/Apollo/VAXstation/HP workstations, VAX, MicroVAX, Gould, PC and AT compatibles, 80386 and 80486 computers, Apple Macintosh, and several parallel machines. The information in these notes applies generally to all of these environments.
