Matlab: A Practical Introduction to Programming and Problem Solving

Assuming no knowledge of programming, MATLAB's extensive capabilities for tackling engineering problems. MATLAB's extensive capabilities for tackling engineering problems. It is a concept of using the concept of "power" and "power of MATLAB" side-by-side. In-depth coverage is given to input / output, a topic that is fundamental to many engineering applications.

* 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, and 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 'guidelines' direct students towards best practice
