Introduction to MATLAB for Biologists takes you from the very first time you open MATLAB through to a position where you can comfortably integrate this computer language into your research or studies. The book will familiarize you with the MATLAB interface, show you how to use the program's built-in functions, and carefully guide you towards creating your own functions and scripts so that you can use MATLAB as a tool to support your own research. A central aim of this book is to provide you with the core knowledge and skills required to become a confident MATLAB user so that you can find and make use of the many specialist functions and toolboxes that have been developed to support a wide range of biological applications.
Examples presented within the book are selected to be relevant to biological scientists and they illustrate some of the many ways the program can be incorporated into, and used to enhance, your own research and studies.
The textbook was written for students and researchers in the biological sciences. It will also appeal to readers of all backgrounds who are looking for an introduction to MATLAB which is suitable for those with little or no experience of programming.
MATLAB code and functions are used throughout the chapters, and the book also features and introduction to and use of MATLAB Live Editor.
