Top Books for Learning Matlab: Beginner to Advanced Level with Java Knowledge

[Wrichik Basu]

I've recently started to learn MATLAB (self-study). I first tried to learn by an app on Google Play, and work out the examples on the Matlab app. But the app is very bad, and I can't understand anything after a while.

What books can I use for learning Matlab? I have a good knowledge on Java programming (I can make applets, swing programs but not beans and server connections). Keeping that in mind, which book should I use to guide me from a beginner level to an advanced level?

N.B.: Please pardon me if this is off-topic here. I had seen a few months back that someone had asked for books on C, which was received well. If this is off-topic, I request the mentors, moderators and administrators to delete this thread.

there are numerous tutorials online, MATLAB is easy to learn if you just go out and investigate. Google is your friend...

I found this tutorial to be really good - http://ctms.engin.umich.edu/CTMS/index.php?aux=Home

I liked so much "MatLab: A introduction with applications" by Amos Gilat. This book for learn MatLab from zero is a really good option, I recommend it you!

Will try that out. Thanks.

This may be too advanced, but I noticed that Stanford has an advanced MATLAB course being offered, starting in a week or so. In general the content from Stanford is extremely good, and the course is free so you may want to take a look. (If you have to drop you can always rejoin later)

That's great, but you know what, I don't even have a licensed copy to learn Matlab. I try out mainly on the android app. Can't pay so much currently. Maybe later. If videos are made available in youtube for future views, it'll be great.

Will this course cover simulink also?
It's not understood from the topics that it will be covered:

MATLAB topics will be drawn from: advanced graphics (2D/3D plotting, graphics handles, publication quality graphics, animation), MATLAB tools (debugger, profiler), code optimization (vectorization, memory management), object-oriented programming, compiled MATLAB (MEX files and MATLAB coder), interfacing with external programs, toolboxes (optimization, parallel computing, symbolic math, PDEs).

BTW is there any free course for pspice? I tried reading some outdated book on it, and it was hard reading it, not my cup of cola.

You might be able to get away with using Octave (which is free) and following the course. It's up to you to experiment if you're so interested.

I think the course is new and the syllabus is what I'd go on.

I don't care much for Matlab to be honest, but Stanford's online stuff is really really good -- my second favorite after MIT. It pays to keep an eye on what they're offering.
