Features: Computer Networking, Computer-Aided Applications. This book systematically introduces the integrated working platform of MATLAB6.5, guiding readers to learn the basic usage of MATLAB. Chapters 2 and 3 comprehensively describe the four fundamental data types of MATLAB6.5 (numeric arrays, string arrays, cell arrays, and structure arrays), while other extended data types (function handles, symbolic data, inline functions, unit arrays, and sparse classes) are covered in separate chapters. Subsequently, the book elaborates on eight general functions of MATLAB6.5 in nine independent chapters: numerical computation, symbolic computation, function and data visualization, object-oriented programming, CUI interactive interface design, EXE standalone application generation, API for software interaction, and the integrated data-graphics-textual environment of M-book. A dedicated chapter is devoted to explaining SIMULINK's hierarchical modeling, simulation capabilities, and interaction with MATLAB in a clear and accessible manner. The entire book contains over 390 computational examples. All program examples have been debugged on actual machines, ensuring reliability and completeness. Readers can accurately reproduce the example results provided in this book in their own MATLAB environment. This will enable them to quickly grasp the key concepts and transition from imitation to flexible application. All commands mentioned in the main text (including examples) are listed in "Appendix A: Index," allowing users to easily find relevant explanations and example applications based on key characters. This book is a harmonious combination of print and electronic media. The print version facilitates systematic, comprehensive, and continuous reading, allowing readers to freely flip through and browse. The electronic version provides richer color information and a dynamic interactive software environment, offering all the files readers need to practice the content of this book. The accompanying CD-ROM contains over 700 files. The CD files include: M-book DOC files of all examples that can be directly run in Notebook; M and MDL files of examples that can be directly executed in the MATLAB environment; all files for readers to practice MATLAB Compiler and API; and PPT files for PowerPoint presentations. These not only effectively provide interactive capabilities and color appeal that the print version lacks but also the shortcomings of the print version, such as the absence of SIMULINK model source code files, PPT source code files, and compilation and verification files. This book can serve as a systematic textbook for graduate and undergraduate students in science and engineering disciplines, as well as a self-study guide and reference manual for to master and excel in MATLAB.
