—Norman R. Augustine, Law Number XVII, p. 114, Augustine's Laws, AIAA, 1997.
A.1 Appendix Focus
This Appendix organizes and summarizes descriptions of the MATLAB® software used throughout the chapters and available online at the Wiley web site, www.wiley.com/go/kalmanfiltering, along with the necessary supporting software. These are MATLAB functions and scripts for implementing the Kalman filter and demonstrating its use. The ASCII file READMEFIRST.TXT in the root directory should be read before starting to use any of the software. It describes the current contents and directory structure of the files on the website. In most cases, comments within the scripts further describe the inputs, processing, and outputs.
