Kermit Sigmon, author of the MATLAB® Primer, passed away in January 1997. Kermit was a friend, colleague, and fellow avid bicyclist (although I’m a mere 10-mile-aday commuter) with whom I shared an appreciation for the contribution that MATLAB has made to the mathematics, engineering, and scientific community. MATLAB is a powerful tool, and my hope is that in revising our book for MATLAB , you will be able to learn how to apply it to solving your own challenging problems in mathematics, science, and engineering
