Practical MATLAB Basics for Engineers (Practical Matlab for Engineers)

A comprehensive and accessible primer, this tutorial immerses engineers and engineering students in the essential technical skills that will allow them to put Matlab® to immediate use. The book covers concepts such as: functions, algebra, geometry, arrays, vectors, matrices, trigonometry, graphs, pre-calculus and calculus. It then delves into the Matlab language, covering syntax rules, notation, operations, computational programming, and general problem solving in the areas of applied mathematics and general physics. This knowledge can be used to explore the basic applications that are detailed in Misza Kalechman’s companion volume, Practical Matlab Applications for Engineers (cat no. 47760). .

practical Matlab Applications For Engineers provides A Tutorial For Those With A Basic Understanding Of Matlab®. It Can Be Used To Follow Misza Kalechman’s, practical Matlab Basics For Engineers (cat No. 47744). This Volume Explores The Concepts And Matlab Tools Used In The Solution Of Advanced Course Work For Engineering And Technology Students. It Covers The Material Encountered In The Typical Engineering And Technology Programs At Most Colleges. It Illustrates The Direct Connection Between Theory And Real Applications. Each Chapter Reviews Basic Concepts And Then Explores Those Concepts With A Number Of Worked Out Examples.

A comprehensive and accessible primer, this two volume tutorial immerses engineers and engineering students in the essential technical skills that will allow them to put Matlab® to immediate use. The first volume covers concepts such as: functions, algebra, geometry, arrays, vectors, matrices, trigonometry, graphs, pre-calculus and calculus. It then delves into the Matlab language, covering syntax rules, notation, operations, computational programming. The second volume illustrates the direct connection between theory and real applications. Each chapter reviews basic concepts and then explores those concepts with a number of worked out examples.

The book devotes an entire chapter to Fourier and Laplace theorems, which explains how to use MATLAB as a tool to solve circuit, signal, and system problems. The author makes a point to provide all the concepts required to fully understand the discussion of each chapter's material, providing rules, definitions, and theorems."--Jacket "This book begins by taking a general look at the field of computing, the skills associated with computer programming and computer languages, problem solving and algorithms, and changes in technology that are having an impact on the job market." "It enables a solid grounding in computational basics for those new to MATLAB and programming languages, providing extensive examples, figures, and worked-out problems."--Jacket
