Synopsis

This book combines the teaching of the MATLABŪ programming language with the presentation and development of carefully selected electrical and computer engineering (ECE) fundamentals. This is what distinguishes it from other books concerned with MATLABŪ: it is directed specifically to ECE concerns. Students will see, quite explicitly, how and why MATLABŪ is well suited to solve practical ECE problems.

This book is intended primarily for the freshman or sophomore ECE major who has no programming experience, no background in EE or CE, and is required to learn MATLABŪ programming. It can be used for a course about MATLABŪ or an introduction to electrical and computer engineering, where learning MATLABŪ programming is strongly emphasized. A first course in calculus, usually taken concurrently, is essential. The book will also serve EE or CE professionals who need to learn MATLABŪ and who prefer learning via examples directly relevant to their work.

The distinguishing feature of this MATLABŪ book is that about 15 per cent develops ECE fundamentals gradually, from very basic principles. Because these fundamentals are interwoven throughout, MATLABŪ can be applied to solve relevant, practical problems. The plentiful, in-depth example problems to which MATLABŪ is applied were carefully chosen so that results obtained with MATLABŪ also provide insights about the fundamentals.
