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.
