MATLAB

The book is not entirely without merit, but it's swarming with errors. Don't use the samples of code: some of them work mproperly or not at all. If you are a professional and are willing to spend hours hunting for errors, use it at your own risk. Otherwise, forget it.

This book is terrible if you are a college student trying to learn ther topics it covers

There are so many errors you don't know if what you are reading is accurate. I use it for one of my classes, and I am afraid to use it to study with

I liked this book. It covers a large variety of subjects. It has some good examples, and gives you practice problems to work on. It has solutions to many odd problems in the back of the book. Good if you're self studying on your own. The author also provides good explainations of numerical techniques. Could used more examples for Matlab, but provides enough to get reader into the more detailed functions.

There are some errors in the literature. If you're comfortable with numerical techniques, you should find them. Most of the book is safe to use.

I got the book on a good discount, and find it being used more than the other numerical books in the library (for Matlab and non-Matlab languages).

Books rarely get a 5, but this one surely deserves a 4.

The book covers most of the traditional methods. It is a good choice for learning numerical methods. The book has plenty of examples and are very easy to follow. I would recommend some background on calculus and some knoledge about matlab

I have used this book as a support while doing a short course in modelling and simulation, and this book have showed me some very useful tips. The short introductions, and then computer code is a nice way of learning in my opinion. Thanks!

Since there is few books on financial application of Matlab, I would say that Mr. Brandimarte has done a good pretty good job. I liked especially the fact that the book covers many topics (bond pricing, derivatives, optimization), however, even if the title says "an introduction", it is still too much introductive and you don't get a grip on the amazing capabilities of Matlab. This book is suitable for people discovering Matlab and Finance at the same time.
