Assuming no knowledge of programming, this book presents both programming concepts and MATLAB's built-in functions, providing a perfect platform for exploiting MATLAB's extensive capabilities for tackling engineering problems. It starts with programming concepts such as variables, assignments, input/output, and selection statements, moves onto loops and then solves problems using both the 'programming concept' and the 'power of MATLAB' side-by-side. In-depth coverage is given to input/output, a topic that is fundamental to many engineering applications.

Ancillaries available with the text:

  • Instructor solution manual (available Aug. 1st)
  • electronic images from the text (available Aug 16th)
  • m-files (available Aug 1st)


* Presents programming concepts and MATLAB built-in functions side-by-side, giving students the ability to program efficiently and exploit the power of MATLAB to solve problems. * In depth coverage of file input/output, a topic essential for many engineering applications * Systematic, step-by-step approach, building on concepts throughout the book, facilitating easier learning * Sections on 'common pitfalls' and 'programming guidelines' direct students towards best practice

* New to this edition:

    • More engineering applications help the reader learn Matlab in the context of solving technical problems
    • New and revised end of chapter problems
    • Stronger coverage of loops and vectorizing in a new chapter, chapter 5
    • Updated to reflect current features and functions of the current release of Matlab

    Review

    "This book is an excellent way to learn quickly how to use MATLAB…The most significant changes in this edition include a new chapter on vectorized code and manipulating vectors, concepts used in image processing, modified and new end-of-chapter exercises, and the use of MATLAB version R2011a." --Electrical Insulation Magazine, January 2013 "This book is an excellent way to learn quickly how to use MATLAB…Anyone who wants to learn the basis of MATLAB quickly should own this book." --IEEE Electrical Insulation Magazine "In-depth coverage is given to input/output, a topic that is fundamental to many engineering applications. New to this edition are more engineering applications to help the reader learn MATLAB in the context of solving technical problems, new and revised end-of-chapter problems, stronger coverage of loops and vectorizing in a new chapter and updates to reflect current features and functions of the current release of MATLAB." --Lunar and Planetary Information "Assuming no knowledge of programming, this book presents both programming concepts and MATLAB’s built-n functions, providing a perfect platform for exploiting its extensive capabilities for tackling engineering problems. The book starts with programming concepts such as variables, assignments, input/output, and selection statements, moves onto loops, and then solves problems using both the ‘programming concepts’ and the ‘power of MATLAB’ side by side.

Many engineers and scientists now use MATLAB and Simulink to solve real-world problems. With the help of this book, they will be able to exploit the full power of MATLAB much sooner than they would using the online manuals, and be able to solve real problems much more quickly." --IEEE Electrical Insulation Magazine

    I think it is a very useful book for the beginner...I liked it.The problems given at the end of each chapter were helpful to recapitulate,what has been
    discussed. A lucid and very useful book.Will recommend to others.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great way to learn MATLAB and a great reference text
    Reviewed in the United States on 23 August 2016
    Verified Purchase
    I'm an engineer/mathematician but NOT a programmer. I have long sought a powerful but easy to learn language for programming algorithms that arise in my research. I used Mathematica for a couple years but found that, while it was very powerful, the language was not intuitive (for me). Someone suggested I look into MATLAB and after a very brief investigation I decided MATLAB was the perfect solution. I started with the MATLAB Quick Start guide and that got me going. I tried another very basic text and that helped also but it was incomplete. Then I bought this text. I found this text to be both user friendly AND fairly comprehensive. I can't suggest how complete it is since I am far from an expert, but whenever I think "I want to do this" I find that a quick trip to this book (through the index) gets me to what I need. It is both a great learning text AND a great reference. JUST WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR. This book could be used as an initial primer on MATLAB but I suggest you find a super simple intro text first (just for your first day or two) and then, once you get your feet wet, switch to this text. I think it will be all you need until you get to be a near expert ... I never expect or plan to get that sophisticated, so I think this is my MATLAB bible. Buy it!

    Arrived in new condition as described. It is a very useful book as I am using it for research and haven't used MATLAB before so it is a very good introduction.
