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.

 

Note: This book is included in Prentice Hall’s ESource series. ESource allows professors to select the content appropriate for their freshman/first-year engineering course. Professors can adopt the published manuals as is or use ESource’s website www.prenhall.com/esource  to view and select the chapters they need, in the sequence they want. The option to add their own material or copyrighted material from other publishers also exists. 

•Three well-organized sections

        — An Introduction to Basic Matlab Skills gets students started

        — Programming in Matlab introduces students to programming

        — Advanced Matlab Concepts demonstrates more advanced programming techniques

 

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

 

• 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.

 

• 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.

 

• Practice Exercises in each chapter — Give students an immediate opportunity to use their new skills. Complete solutions are included in Appendix B.

 

• 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.

 

• Hints — Included in each chapter, hints are related to commonly encountered problems.

 

• 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.

 -- Fully revised to reflect all recent updates to the MATLAB programming language

  

 --  Additional problems added at the end of each chapter
