PrefaceThis book arose from notes written for matlab ○R training courses runwithin the Australian Defence Science <strong>and</strong> Technology Organisation.The book is in two parts. Each part was originally a two-day course,designed assuming that students were seated at a computer with matlabrunning.Part 1 is an introductory course suitable for those with no experienceat all with matlab. It is written in a self contained way; if you gothrough the notes, all the new comm<strong>and</strong>s <strong>and</strong> ideas are explained asthey are introduced.Part 2 is a more advanced course suitable for those who are alreadyfamiliar with the basics <strong>of</strong> matlab. It covers a variety <strong>of</strong> topics, some<strong>of</strong> which you may not be interested in; if so, you should be able to skipthat section without detriment to other sections.You can get the m-files that accompany this book from the “Download”section <strong>of</strong> the CRC Press web site (www.crcpress.com). The filesare available in zip or gzipped tar format, <strong>and</strong> can be extracted usingWinZip on a PC, or by using gunzip <strong>and</strong> tar on unix. You will need toput them in a directory where matlab will be able to find them. Youcan either use the cd comm<strong>and</strong> to move matlab’s working directory tothe directory you extract the files to, or add that directory to matlab’ssearch path.
