Moler...tailors his book as a set of discrete and easy to read chapters explaining and depicting the power of MATLAB. [The book] demonstrated to the reader, student or professional users, what is possible in MATLAB in easy to swallow bites, yet preserving the power and elegance of the software. ... Moler does an outstanding job covering the sweet-spot between mathematics and computer science using MATLAB. He demonstrates throughout his book the power and the flexibility of the software application, and how it can be used to make a scientist s job easier.""- Art Seddighi, MAA Reviews
