MATLAB for Python programmers

Question

I\'ve used MATLAB on and off before, but I need to develop a good understanding of it now, and the language I\'m most familiar with is Python. Care to describe a MATLAB language

Answer 1

I found this SciPy.org page helpful, even though it works better for the other direction and doesn't directly address many core language features.

Along the same lines:

• The "Comparison with MATLAB" section of this Numerical Computing in Python presentation
• NumPy for MATLAB Users cheat sheet

But none of these really explain the MATLAB language and data structures to me like a good book about the language, in a way that leverages my existing knowledge of Python. (The question Jonas links to does though - check that out.)
