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. Professors are not only able to pick and choose complete modules, but also custom-build a freshman engineering text that matches their content needs and course organization exactly! Using the ESource online BookBuild system at www.prenhall.com/esource, they can view and select book chapters, change the sequence, instantly calculate the book's net (bookstore) price, request a free examination copy, and generate an ISBN for placing a bookstore order. They can also add your own course notes, syllabi, reference charts, or other favorite materials, including material from third-party publishers. ESource Access Card: 0-13-090400-7. Include this ISBN when setting up an ESource Bundle.

• More detail in early chapters – Makes it easier for beginning students to grasp the material right from the start.

• Three well-organized sectionsAn 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.

• Online support – Instructor website includes solutions for practice exercises, examples, and problems, plus Power Point slides for each chapter and a series of Flash lectures including narration.
