How can I take advantage of Matlab as an undergraduate chemical engineering student?

I have studied the content of the tutorials and I am not sure if buying a book on how to program on Matlab or one that covers the numerical capabilities of the language.

See the question, Experts of MATLAB, how did you learn? Any advice for beginner/intermediate users?

and the list of books: Chemistry and Chemical Engineering Books (36 texts)

if you didn't already seen them.
