Welcome to the Mastering MATLAB Toolbox Site!


The Mastering MATLAB Toolbox
Version 5

The Mastering MATLAB Toolbox is a collection of approximately 140 function M-files written by the authors of Mastering MATLAB 5. The functions in the Toolbox range from commonly used utilities, to numerical analysis and optimization functions, to powerful high level plotting routines, to polished graphical user interface functions for setting axes, line, surface, paper, and other properties. If you downloaded or otherwise received a copy of the Mastering MATLAB Toolbox that was associated with the first edition of this text, you have a general idea of what is available in the Toolbox. However, since then a lot has changed. The changes include:

Obtaining the Toolbox

This edition of the Mastering MATLAB Toolbox is freely distributable. Anyone can download the Toolbox, install it, use it, copy it, and give it to others. Please keep the copyright notice intact. The Toolbox files are fully-functional.

The Mastering MATLAB Toolbox User's Guide lists all of the Toolbox functions and discusses many of them in detail. The User's Guide includes a number of examples and the help text for some of the functions as well. The User's Guide is available as a PDF file. Download the Toolbox and the documentation in the most appropriate format for your platform.

Installing the Toolbox

After downloading and decompressing the appropriate Toolbox file on your platform, you will find a directory or folder named mm5 containing the files: Contents.m, Readme.m, and numerous .m files, which are the toolbox functions. You should also have a subdirectory or subfolder called html within your mm5 directory. Please use the appropriate options to create all subdirectories when decompressing the archive. To install the Mastering MATLAB Toolbox, simply copy the mm5 directory and its contents into the Toolbox directory (within the MATLAB directory) and add the mm5 directory to the MATLAB search path (using the tools discussed in Chapter 5.)

The Contents.m file lists all of the functions in the Toolbox. The Readme.m file contains information about additions and changes to the Toolbox.
