By Stormy Attaway
Description Assuming no knowledge of programming, this book presents both programming concepts and MATLAB's built-in functions, providing a perfect
platform for exploiting MATLAB's extensive capabilities for tackling engineering problems. It starts with programming concepts such as
variables, assignments, input/output, and selection statements, moves onto loops and then solves problems using both the ?programming
concept' and the ?power of MATLAB' side-by-side. In-depth coverage is given to input/output, a topic that is fundamental to many engineering
applications.
Audience
Engineers learning to program and model in Matlab. Undergraduates in engineering and science taking a course on MATLAB.
