I am going to use Matlab for a course in which most of the students have 
very little computer experience.  

Does anybody have a Matlab primer that I could distribute to my students?
The manual is too detailed, and I probably need permission to copy it 
anyway.  I am mostly interested in simple matrix and vector operations.

If you have it, please send it to me.  

Thank you,

Check out the chapter on Matlab in 

Coleman, T.F. and C. Van Loan (1988) Handbook for Matrix
  Computations, Frontiers in Applied Mathematics Vol.4,
  SIAM, Philadelphia.

I found this to be a very concise and useful introduction
to the basic Matlab commands.

Just a second, guys. I'm not sure you want to be handing out photocopies
of a book chapter to all students in a class. Doesn't that violate
copyrights?    

There are alternatives. First off, Prentice-Hall is publishing a
student edition of matlab. The manual is quite good and available
seperately for $30. Then there is the brief summary by Kurt Sigmon
(U. Florida) that is distributed through the Matlab Users Group. It;s
a plain TeX document.

There is a MATLAB primer written in LaTeX (or PostScript) available
on the NETLIB server.  Its free, and gives a nice introduction and
table summary of basic functions.
