How this Book Was Assembled — Read

From LibreTexts, under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0, as the source states it; its equations are written in TeX, which the PDF shows typeset. This page at LibreTexts.

The books listed in the Authors and Sources section have some very good materials. For the 2021-2022 school year, I used those sources plus my own materials to teach my MATLAB programming course. In order to make it more convenient for both the students and the teacher, I have assembled these materials into a single textbook. I felt that many chapters could benefit from additional examples and exercises, which I added. Additional topics were also added to many chapters.

The following outlines how each source was used in assembling this textbook.
