For Freshman or Introductory courses in Engineering and Computer Science.
With a hands-on approach and focus on problem solving, this introduction to the powerful Matlab computing language is designed for students with only a basic college algebra background. Numerous examples are drawn from a range of engineering disciplines, demonstrating Matlab’s applications to a broad variety of problems. Appropriate for beginning students, the book assumes a basic understanding of college algebra and computers.
Note: This book is included in Prentice Hall’s ESource series. ESource provides a comprehensive, customizable introductory engineering and computing library. ESource allows professors to fully customize their textbooks through the ESource website.

• More detail in early chapters – Makes it easier for beginning students to grasp the material right from the start.
• Three well-organized sections – An Introduction to Basic Matlab Skills gets students started; Programming in Matlabintroduces students to programming, and Advanced Matlab Concepts demonstrates more advanced programming techniques.
• Sections using Calculus and Differential Equations introduced near the end of appropriate chapters — Can be used for additional study by students with more advanced mathematics backgrounds.
• Numerous examples – Embedded in the text, with more complicated numbered examples included in each chapter to reinforce the concepts introduced.
• Examples from a wide range of disciplines – Demonstrate how Matlab can be used to solve a variety of engineering problems, making content accessible to students beyond those in electrical engineering.
• Hints – Included in each chapter, hints are related to commonly encountered problems.
• Practice Exercises in each chapter – Give students an immediate opportunity to use their new skills. Complete solutions are included in Appendix B.
• M-files — Introduces m-files early in the text to make it easier for students to save their work and develop a consistent programming strategy.
