<p>I need to start learning MatLab, because I need it for my research soon.
Does anyone know a good book or online tutorial for MatLab starters? I do not really have any programming backgrounds just some basics I learned in introduction to engineering classes.
Thanks!</p>
<p>You can find basically everything you need online. The documentation on their own website is pretty nice and there are multiple communities dedicated to Matlab work. I would say just find a few progressively tougher example problems to tackle and then explore on your own to solve them. Most of what I learned was from doing that.</p>

<p>Pretty good book, and very cheap for a used copy. It covers quite a bit of MATLAB in a followable manner. It teaches you the functions MATLAB has built in, while also showing you how to program your own function files. Texas A&M uses this book in MEEN and CVEN numerical method classes.</p>
