MATLAB PROGRAMMING WITH APPLICATIONS FOR ENGINEERS seeks to simultaneously teach MATLAB as a technical programming language while introducing the student to many of the practical functions that make solving problems in MATLAB so much easier than in other languages. The book provides a complete introduction to the fundamentals of good procedural programming, developing good design habits that will serve a student well in any other language that he or she may pick up later. Programming topics and examples are used as a jumping off point for exploring the rich set of highly optimized application functions that are built directly into MATLAB.

Features

Teaches good programming skills and habits that transfer to any other procedural programming language.
A heavy emphasis is placed on using the built-in MATLAB functions for engineering applications and solving real world type problems.
´Good Programming Practice´ features emphasize good design practices. Examples of good programming practices include the use of proper program headers and data dictionaries in all programs, good commenting, proper program structure, etc.
´Programming Pitfalls´ are also emphasized. This feature highlights the most common errors that beginners make and how to avoid them.
Uses a five-step program design process employed regularly throughout the text.
Includes a significant section on 3D plots with an extensive example explaining the importance and operation of the difficult meshgrid function.
Students learn how to use handle graphics to create simple interactive plots and animations.
Includes a chapter totally devoted to MATLAB applications commonly used by engineering students. Topics include: Polynomial multiplication and division; Solving system of simultaneous equations; The concept of an ill-conditioned system; Solving underconstrained systems of equations with pseudoinverse; Solving overconstrained systems of equations; Numerical differentiation; Numerical integration; and Solving linear and nonlinear differential equations.
End-of-chapter exercises are very extensive, and the problems include examples from a wide variety of engineering disciplines.
All MATLAB files and code are available for Instructor´´s and Students via the companion websites.
