MATLAB E-books links
I am very sure that there must be lot of guys out there who want to learn matlab.For those who dont knw what matlab is let me explain.MATLAB is an interactive programming environment for scientific computing. MATLAB is heavily used in many technical fields for data analysis, problem solving, and for experimentation and algorithm development. Discipline-specific software written in MATLAB, organized into libraries of functions called toolboxes, is widely used as well. MATLAB has found extensive use as the basis for computational laboratory work in technical education; more than 1000 textbooks use MATLAB as a teaching vehicle. MATLAB is a product of The Mathworks of Natick, Massachusetts, USA.So guys here are some few links if you are looking forward to learn matlab.

Slumdog Millionaire sweeps the Oscars with 8 awards
Rags-to-riches romance 'Slumdog Millionaire' stole the show at Oscar Award ceremony by winning several awards including best Movie,best Director award for Danny Boyle, best Original Song and Original Score for A R Rahman, best Sound Mixing for Resul Pokutty and Ian Tapp and Richard Pryke, best Adapted Screenplay for Simon Beaufoy.
A R Rahman scripted history by becoming the first Indian to win two Oscars for the Best Original Score "Slumdog Millionaire" and its foot-tapping song "Jai Ho".
"Before coming here I was excited and terrified. The last time I felt that way was when I was getting married," he told in his acceptance speech after bagging the Original Score Academy.
"There is a Hindi dialogue 'mere pass ma hai' which means even if I have got nothing I have my mother here. I want to thank her for coming all the way to support me," the 43-year-old musician said.
Rahman was again on the dais to accept the Oscar for the best Original Song for the number "Jai ho", sung by Sukhwinder Singh and Mahalaxmi Iyer.
Before that he performed a medley of 'Jai ho' and 'O saya' assisted by dancers and singer John Legend.
"The essence of the film is about optimism and home. The power of hope in our lives. All my life I had the choice between hate and love. I choose love and here I am," said the musician while accepting the award for best song, penned by Gulzar.
India's Resul Pookutty won the third Oscar for 'Slumdog Millionaire' in the best Sound Mixing Category.
Smile Pinki, a documentary on a young Indian girl also won an Oscar in the best Short Documentary category.
British scriptwriter Simon Beaufoy fetched the first Oscar in the Best Adapted Screenplay category while Anthony Dod Mantle won the Oscar for best Cinematography in 'Slumdog Millionaire', based on Indian diplomat Vikas Swarup's novel ‘Q and A', as the world's top film honours got under way in Los Angeles.
"It is a tremendous honour. I thank Vikas Swarup, without him 'Slumdog' would not have happened, thanks Vikas Swarup," said Beaufoy while accepting the golden statuette
."Thank you Dev, thank you Latika and the entire cast and crew of Slumdog," Beaufoy said.
The scriptwriter has already bagged the Golden Globe and BAFTA for "Slumdog Millionaire".
"I learnt a lot about life," said Beaufoy about his India experience.
This is a first Oscar for Beaufoy, who was earlier nominated in 1997 in the Original Screenplay Category for the film "Full Monty".
The list award winners are as follows:

The Kite Runner-Khaled Hosseini
Khaled Hosseini's quietly powerful debut novel.The Kite Runner fulfills the promise of fiction, awakening curiosity about the world around us, speaking truth as the lessons of history echo down the years. The themes are universal: familial relationships, particularly father and son; the price of disloyalty; the inhumanity of a rigid class system; and the horrific realities of war.
In Afghanistan, young Amir's earliest memories of life in Kabul are blessed with a cultural heritage that values tradition, blood ties and a deeply rooted cultural identity. Upper class Pashtuns, Amir enjoys the luxury of education, material comfort and a constant playmate, the son of his father's longtime Hazara servant, Hassan.
Twice in his lifetime Amir is morally tested in his relationship with Hassan. The first time, a victim of his own arrogance, Amir fails his companion. Hiding behind the superiority of class, Amir chooses the path of least resistance, but the scar of betrayal cuts through his soul and never heals. That first failure dictates Amir's inner dialogue throughout his life, even in America, until he is offered another chance at personal redemption. Returned to his homeland at the request of an old family friend, the second challenge is equally perilous, and Amir recognizes the very real implications of his decision. This internal struggle is the underlying theme of the novel, which spans Afghani history from the peaceful 70's to the repressive rule of the Taliban in the late '90s.
Played out on the world stage, a desperate battle to preserve the cultural heritage of Afghanistan spans Amir's life in Kabul and America. While Amir and his father reside safely in America, their homeland is decimated by constant warfare -- streets lined with beggars, fatherless children whose future is marginalized by poverty: "There are a lot of children in Afghanistan, but little childhood." The sweet simplicity of youthful winters spent "kite running" with Hassan seem light years away, illuminated by the boys' unfettered innocence.
Against this stark landscape, the adult Amir is challenged as never before, charged with the protection of a young life already scarred by the random violence visited upon the disenfranchised. With inordinate compassion and stunning simplicity, Hosseini portrays Amir's impossible dilemma. Complications abound, but the answer lies in humanity's capacity for kindness. The grace of acceptance heals the wounds of brutality, for with forgiveness anything is possible, even the wild joy of soaring kites against a winter sky.
