MATLAB for Engineers

With a hands-on approach and focus on problem solving, this introduction to Matlab uses examples drawn from a range of engineering disciplines to demonstrate Matlab’s applications to a broad variety of problems. Encourages readers to type in examples as they go for immediate application of techniques presented. Includes numerous broad-based examples embedded in the text, practice exercises with solutions, and hints related to commonly encountered problems. Introduces m-files early in the text to make it easier for readers to save their work and develop a consistent programming strategy. For those interested in learning Matlab.

 

 

"As the author states in the ‘About This Book’ section, many students entering the engineering field today do not have a background to programming, let alone the knowledge of a specific program such as MATLAB. This text is an excellent tutorial for them to not only understand the MATLAB environment, but how it can be helpful for solving engineering, chemistry, and/or physics-related problems." — Richard Clark, Virginia Western Community College

"The end-of-the-chapter homework problems are very good. I really like the fact they are from various engineering fields that the student’s are likely to do later on. Just like the illustrative examples in the chapters, the homework problems are very interesting." — Ram Narasimhan, University of Miami

"This book really stood out when I was making my textbook selection. I really like the in-depth examples in the text as well as the concept-check practice exercises." — April Andreas, McLennan Community College

"I very, very much like the selection of problems. I can always find something interesting and challenging." — April Andreas, McLennan Community College
