The document provides an introduction and roadmap to learning MATLAB for students in electronic engineering. It includes 12 chapters that cover basic MATLAB skills like working with matrices, arithmetic and logical operations, plotting, and applications in areas like signal processing and control systems. The roadmap aims to teach MATLAB programming to students within 240 microyears (approximately 7.5 months). It emphasizes that MATLAB can help engineering students learn technical topics even if they don't know how to program initially.
