Apply MATLAB programming to the mathematical modeling of real-life problems from a wide range of topics. This pragmatic book shows you how to solve your programming problems, starting with a brief primer on MATLAB and the fundamentals of the MATLAB programming language. Then, you'll build fully working examples and computational models found in the financial, engineering, and scientific sectors. As part of this section, you'll cover signal and image processing, as well as GUIs.  
After reading and using Practical MATLAB and its accompanying source code, you'll have the practical know-how and code to apply to your own MATLAB programming projects.
