I have started putting up some notes for class. The notes are divided into lectures but won't correspond to class days. They will reflect changes in topics.

First class: Tuesday, Feb. 2, 2010

Textbooks

Textbooks are optional but I will suggest two and provide an Amazon link.

     MATLAB: A Practical Introduction to Programming and Problem Solving
        by Stormy Attaway (Elsevier, 2009)
     Numerical Computing with MATLAB (revised reprint)
        by Cleve B. Moler (SIAM, 2004)

If you are new to programming, you will find the first book more useful, I believe, since it devotes most of its effort to explaining how the language works. The Moler book, by the inventor of MATLAB, is more a collection of case studies in how MATLAB can be used.
