MATLAB Primer (in  pub/matlab)

   The third edition of the MATLAB Primer is no longer available as
   TeX source via ftp.  

   CRC Press, which now has the copyright to the Primer, expects the
   new fourth edition to be available during summer 1994.

   The fourth edition is in a new compact, reader-friendly bound
   format.  In addition to extensive general revision and
   reformatting, a major new section on the symbolic math toolbox
   has been added.  The fourth edition is compatible with versions
   4.0/4.1/4.2 of MATLAB, with features of the new version 4.2
   blended into the presentation.

   The MATLAB Primer was written to help students begin to use MATLAB.
   It is intended to serve as an introduction to and not a manual for
   MATLAB.  While its primary purpose is for use in courses which
   require use of MATLAB, it can, of course, serve as an introduction
   to MATLAB for others.

   Ordering information:
   --- Both national and international mail orders should come to:

   The second edition, which is based on version 3.5 of MATLAB,
   remains available via ftp, both as plain TeX and PostScript files.
   Both English and Spanish editions are available:

     primer35.tex    Plain TeX source of the Second Edition

     primer35sp.tex  Plain TeX source of the Spanish version of the 2nd Ed.
     primer35sp.ps   PostScript file for the Spanish version of the 2nd Ed.


Miscellaneous (in pub/matlab)

torus.m          Generates a torus (See MATLAB's sphere.m, cylinder.m)
relnotes4.1.ps   PostScript file for the Release Notes for
                    MATLAB version 4.1

Number Theory (in  pub/matlab/notheory)

   While integer arithmetic is not Matlab's natural environment,
   it is often convenient to have available a few functions from
   elementary number theory.  Those available here are:

     binom.m        Binomial coefficients
     diophan.m      Linear Diophantine equation solver
     gcd.m          Greatest common divisor (for v.3.5; v.4.0 has it)
     lcm.m          Least common multiple   (for v.3.5; v.4.0 has it)
     modinv.m       Modular inverse
     modsolve.m     Linear congruence solver
     pf.m           Prime factorization
     phi.m          Euler's phi function
     res.m          Least nonnegative residue
     quadres.m      Quadratic residues
