Synopsis

ADVANCED ENGINEERING MATHEMATICS WITH MATLAB is written for engineers and engineering students who are interested in applying MATLAB to solve practical engineering problems. The book emphasizes mathematical principles, not computations, with MATLAB employed as a tool for analysis that shows how engineering problems are defined and solved. The book features complete MATLAB integration throughout, abundant examples which show real practical applications, and end-of-chapter problems that reinforce techniques.
