Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around recommendations for books focused on MATLAB, specifically those that emphasize practical exercises rather than theoretical content. Participants share various resources and personal opinions regarding the software and its learning materials.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation, Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant requests recommendations for books that focus exclusively on exercises in MATLAB, expressing dissatisfaction with theoretical texts.
  • Another participant suggests the book "Mastering Matlab..." as a good resource, indicating that there is a wealth of information available online.
  • A participant humorously mentions the need for a "bible" or similar resource to cope with frustrations related to using MATLAB.
  • One participant expresses a preference for a "C/C++ Bible" instead, indicating a different focus or preference in programming resources.
  • A repeated comment about needing a "bible" for dealing with MATLAB frustrations includes a humorous anecdote about a prank involving soap.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express differing views on the types of resources needed for learning MATLAB, with some focusing on practical exercises and others suggesting a more humorous or critical perspective on the software itself. There is no consensus on a single recommended book.

Contextual Notes

Participants' comments reflect personal experiences and preferences, which may not align with broader educational needs or methodologies. The discussion includes humor and informal references that may not contribute directly to the search for educational materials.

Who May Find This Useful

Individuals seeking practical MATLAB resources, those interested in programming education, and users looking for community insights on software frustrations may find this discussion relevant.

...exclusively with exercises from MATLAB? I found many theoretical books,but that is not what I need.

Dr Transport,thank you for your reply.
 
You should also have a bible / similar handy, since all the cursing you're going to be doing at that silly software will make you feel guilty.
 
But I only believe in C/C++ Bible.

Shot glass + Liquid soap

The grown-up reimagining of an old classic (I had friends that actually did this to someone on their birthday--snuck a shot of hand soap into a line of shots the birthday boy was doing).
