The purpose of this Primer is to

help you begin to use MATLAB. It is not intended to be

a substitute for the online help facility or the MATLAB

documentation (such as Getting Started with MATLAB,

available in printed form and online). The Primer can

best be used hands-on. You are encouraged to work at

the computer as you read the Primer and freely

experiment with the examples. This Primer, along with

the online help facility, usually suffices for students in a

class requiring the use of MATLAB.
