Lee H.-H. Programming and Engineering Computing with MatLAB 2018

KS: SDC Publications, 2018. — 518 p. [e-book]This book is designed for undergraduate students completely new to programming with MatLAB. Case studies and examples are used extensively throughout this book and are at the core of what makes this book so unique. The author believes that the best way to learn MatLAB is to study programs written by experienced programmers and that the quality of these example programs determines the quality of the book. The examples in this book are carefully designed to teach you MatLAB programming as well as to inspire within you your own problem solving potential. Most of the examples used in this book are designed to solve a whole class of problems, rather than a single, specific problem.A learn by doing teaching approach is used all through the book. You are guided to tackle a problem using MatLAB commands first and then the commands are explained line by line. This process of learning through hands on experience is one of the most efficient and pain-free ways of learning MatLAB. This approach, together with the extensive use of ordered textboxes, figures, and tables, greatly reduces the size of the book, while still providing you with a book that s comprehensive and easy to follow.Who this book is forThis book is developed mainly for undergraduate engineering students. It may be used in courses such as Computers in Engineering, or others that use MatLAB as a software platform. It can also be used as a self-study book for learning MatLAB.
College level engineering examples are used in this book. Background knowledge for these engineering examples is illustrated as thoroughly as possible.Getting Started, Desktop Environment, and Overview
