Reviews

"Highly recommended for students and professionals dealing with engineering and scientific computation—and seeking a powerful software alternative." —Simulation News Europe

"For those who are unfamiliar with Scilab, here is a chance to get an introduction to this freeware package from a group that has been using Scilab in the classroom and the industry…. The book provides an overview of Scilab and consists of three major sections: an introduction to the software, a discussion of the major toolboxes, and a section on applications…. [Part II] provides a good summary of the types of computation Scilab is capable of performing, as well as a brief overview of many commands…. As an introduction to Scilab, this book is an excellent guide." —IEEE Control Systems Magazine
