A beginning tutorial. https://www.tutorialspoint.com/matlab/

• MATLAB is very good in documentation. If you stuck up in a funciton use help function. This will give detailed description of the function with examples.
• If you want to read documentation of a function use doc function. This will open documentation.
• If you have a key word and want to know the function use lookfor keyword. This will give you all possible functions with that key word.

Important points to remember.

• MATLAB is matrix laboratory. MATRIX is important here.
• Indexing is important.
• MATLAB indices are positive integers. Zero and negatives not accepted.
• Read about element by element operation.
• Keep matrix addition and multiplication in mind.
• Read about loops.
• Read about logical indexing.

REad the above. You are done with what you want and now you are ready to start.

I never knew the lookfor function even existed! To be fair, it's only been 13 years without realising! Looks very useful.

(Note: I just edited the answer to remove the space in 'look for')

Thanks Adam. :)
