    For undergraduate engineering courses in Mechanical, Aeronautical, Civil, and Electrical engineering that require/use MATLAB.


    An authoritative guide to generating readable, compact, and verifiably correct MATLAB programs.


    This highly respected guide helps students develop a strong working knowledge of MATLAB that can be used to solve a wide range of engineering problems. Since solving these problems usually involves writing relatively short, one-time-use programs, the authors demonstrate how to effectively develop programs that are compact yet readable, easy to debug, and quick to execute. Emphasis is on using MATLAB to obtain solutions to several classes of engineering problems, so technical material is presented in summary form only.


    The new edition has been thoroughly revised and tested for software release 2009."

    Salient Features

    "Versatile presentation - This text can be used in the following ways:
    To learn MATLAB.
    As a companion to undergraduate and graduate level textbooks in engineering.
    As a reference book for obtaining numerical solutions to a wide range of engineering problems.
    As a source of applications of a wide variety of MATLAB solution techniques.
    Two interrelated parts:
    Part I: Chapters 1 to 7--introduces the fundamentals of MATLAB syntax and commands, and structured programming techniques.
    Part II: Chapters 8 to 14--makes extensive use of the first seven chapters to obtain numerical solutions to engineering problems for a wide range of topics. In several of these topical areas, MATLAB toolboxes are used extensively to minimize programming complexity.
    Challenging exercises that cover a wide range of engineering topics.
