This book is recommended to the students of the faculty of Economics, but it may be useful also to graduate students working in contexts that need numerical solutions of problems. It offers a clear and easy introduction to MATLAB and to its main applications ?in the economic and financial environment.
The base elements of MATLAB are illustrated. Moreover, the book deals with the problem of finding the roots ?of an equation, the problem of portfolio optimization, Value at Risk, linear regression and curve fitting. ?Each subject is equipped with several examples ?and exercises with solution.
