    Book Matlab
In summary, the conversation was about recommendations for a good Matlab book. The person was looking for a small, cheap, paperback book for basic syntax and useful functions. It was specified that they wanted a printed book, not an online tutorial or PDF. One suggestion was given, but the person was hoping for something smaller and cheaper. The idea of international editions was brought up, but it was mentioned that they may not be the best option. The person clarified that they did not need a comprehensive reference, but rather a quick overview book. They ended up picking up a used copy of Mastering Matlab.

Hi, can anyone recommend a good Matlab book?
Most of the books I have found on Amazon, etc. seem to be expensive textbook-type books.
I am looking for a small, cheap, paperback "quick reference guide" kind of thing, something to bring me up to speed on basic syntax and useful functions.
I want a printed book, not an online tutorial, PDF, or built-in help.

Thanks Dr. Transport. I was hoping for something smaller and cheaper, though. I guess I'll try to track down a less expensive international edition. Any other suggestions?

online tutorials are free...

nothing is cheap, if you want a reference/text it will cost a few dollars. I'm not an advocate of international editions, for the most part, they cheat the author of their rightfully earned royalties. ~$70 is nothing compared to the price of other texts out there.

I don't really need a comprehensive reference- more like a quick overview-type book, as I already have some experience with math programming. But, I picked up a used copy of Mastering Matlab and I'll see where it takes me. Thanks.
