ABSTRACT
The use of computers has, without a doubt, changed
the way in which science, engineering and many other
disciplines compile and analyse data. Computers provide
us with the ability of processing data at speeds that would
be impossible with pen and paper alone, and it is thus of
paramount importance to be able to instruct hardware and
software to carry out the operations we require them to
compute. This book deals with the way one can achieve
these tasks with the help of MATLAB and Octave, two very
similar numerical computing environments widely used by
MATLAB stands for MATrix LABoratory and is distributed by The MathWorks1, originally created to facilitate 1 The MathWorks - https://www.
