This book provides a comprehensive guide to Matlab, which stands as the cornerstone of modern education and is the main computer language driving development in science and engineering. The author introduces readers to the rich world of Matlab, taking them on a journey from the fundamentals to advanced topics, equipping them with the knowledge and skills needed to become a proficient Matlab developer or scientist. The book provides a treasure trove of practical examples, meticulously crafted to deepen the reader understanding of Matlab. This comprehensive exploration is designed to cater to novice learners as well as mature developers and scientists, equipping them with the requisite knowledge and competencies to harness the Matlab full potential in their respective projects. From the basics of variable naming and program structure to complex matrix operations, recursion, and object-oriented programming, this book covers it all. This book is part of a series of worksdesigned to present both the examples and their explanations in various computer languages, as close to a mirror version as possible.

The book Coding Examples from Simple to Complex—Applications in MATLAB by Paul Aurelian Gagniuc is a very hands-on introduction to programming in MATLAB, appealing to readers ranging from novices making their first steps in the universe of programming to more seasoned developers, that can use a very rich reference of code examples. Because this is the main feature of this work, teaching through examples, over 200, each chapter exemplifying the key concepts by exercises which are implemented, commented, and explained in great detail.

The chosen language is MATLAB, a programming language oriented towards scientists and engineers, focusing especially on numeric computation. This makes the book especially useful for students in engineering domains, such as mechanical engineering and electrical engineering, who often lack an introductory course in their language of choice.

The structure is well-thought, starting with traditional starting points in variable declaration, expressions, control statements, arrays, functions and continuing with objects and advanced techniques. The examples support the chapters in a logical succession, one advantage being that a simplified solution is shown before an optimized one, useful for a deeper understanding of the problem.

The book continues with the moderate examples section, in which more real-world usages are shown, ranging from topics such as string manipulation, more advanced matrix operations, sorting algorithms, bitwise operations and encodings and statistics. As examples are implemented without the use of other libraries except standard library, they are of great teaching value, in helping practitioners truly understand the inner workings of concepts. Where the book is of interest to more advanced developers or researchers in different fields, is in the complex examples section, covering novel, state-of-the-art algorithms such as spectral forest or complex usage of Markov Chains, an area in which the author is a renowned expert.
