Assuming no knowledge of programming, this book starts with programming concepts, such as variables, assignments, and selection statements, moves on to loops, and then solves problems using both the programming concept and the power of MatLAB. The fifth edition has been updated to reflect the functionality of the current version of MatLAB (R2018a), including the addition of local functions in scripts, the new string type, coverage of recently introduced functions to import data from web sites, and updates to the Live Editor and App Designer.
Presents programming concepts and MatLAB built-in functions side by side, giving students the ability to program efficiently and exploit the power of MatLAB to solve technical problems
Offers sections on common pitfalls and programming guidelines that direct students to best practice procedures
Tests conceptual understanding of the material with Quick Questions! and Practice sections within each chapter
