MATLAB for Engineers Explained

By Niclas Bergman, Fredrik Gustafsson, Fredrik Gustafson

Book Overview

Based on the new 'guided-tour' concept that eliminates the start-up transient encountered in learning new programming languages, this beginner's introduction to MATLAB teaches a sufficient subset of the functionality and gives the reader practical experience on how to find more information. Recent developments in MATLAB to advance programming are described using realistic examples in order to prepare students for larger programming projects, plus a large number of exercises, tips, and solutions mean that the course can be followed with or without a computer. Each chapter corresponds to an engineering course, with examples in MATLAB illustrating the theory and providing a practical understanding of these courses. A forty-page appendix contains unique user-friendly summaries and tables of MATLAB functions enabling the reader to find appropriate functions, understand their syntax and get a good overview. The development of MATLAB programming and its use in engineering courses makes this a valuable self-study guide for both engineering students and practicing engineers
