Matlab Resources:

Matlab primer by Kermit Sigmon: PDF format (for Adobe Acrobat Reader) | Postscript format.

Online: Matlab resources from Indiana University, including Getting Started With MATLAB and Plotting with Matlab.

Online: A Practical Introduction To Matlab and a printable version in PS format

There are several books on learning MATLAB, and MATLAB is also incorporated into several numerical analysis textbooks. If you are looking for a good book that will serve both as an introduction to and as a reference for MATLAB, I recommend

D.J. Higham and N.J. Higham, MATLAB Guide, Second Edition, SIAM, 2005.
The current price of the book is $52 ($36 for SIAM members). If you are a graduate student at NIU, you can join SIAM for free. (I recommend that you join SIAM even if you are not buying this book.)

MATLAB-like computing and programming environments:

Below are links to two different software packages that are largely (but not totally) the same as MATLAB. Both of these are free software that will run on a windows PC and on other platforms.
