Essential MATLAB for Engineers and Scientists (Broché)

The sixth edition of Essential MATLAB for Engineers and Scientists continues to provide a concise, balanced overview of MATLAB's functionality that facilitates independent learning, with coverage of both the fundamentals and applications. The essentials of MATLAB are illustrated throughout, featuring complete coverage of the software's windows and menus. Program design and algorithm development are presented clearly and intuitively, along with many examples from a wide range of familiar scientific and engineering areas.
This edition has been updated to include the latest MATLAB versions through R2016a. This is an ideal book for a first course on MATLAB or for an engineering problem-solving course using MATLAB, as well as a self-Learning tutorial for professionals and students expected to learn and apply MATLAB. Key features : Presents MATLAB as a problem-solving tool for professionals in science and engineering, as well as students in those fields, who have no prior knowledge of computer programming ; Features an informal, tutorial style for its "teach-yourself" approach, encouraging readers to experiment with MATLAB as a way of discovering how it works ; Includes warnings of the many pitfalls that await the unwary beginner ; Provides numerous examples taken from science and engineering (simulation, population modeling, numerical methods) as well as business and everyday life ; Emphasizes programming style to produce clear, readable code ; Companion Web site includes solutions to all chapter exercises, extra questions and programming assignments, M-files, figures from the text, and lecture slides.
New to the sixth edition : Updated to include all the newer features through MATLAB R2016a ; Includes a new chapter on complex variables analysis ; Presents a comparison of execution time between compiled and un-compiled code that includes examples ; Describes the new H2 graphics features.
