Recommend an elementary book on Matlab

Depending on how things turn out, I may have to learn Matlab. I have
basic level C and C++. What books can you recommend? I am pretty
certain I won't need any of the matrix-crunching properties of Matlab,
I don't want a book that uses hairy maths as its teaching examples,
that kind of stuff would be far beyond me. I want a book that gives
SIMPLE teaching examples, storing data in (whatever they're called in
Matlab) and how to display the results as a map.

I live in Britain.

My recommendation is "Essential Matlab for Engineers and Scientists"
by Brian D. Hahn and Daniel T valentime. Hey , if you need to learn
Matalb you are stuck with working with matrices but his book certainly
doesn't go into hairy matrix theory.

eBook. It may be enough to get you started?
