The essential guide to MATLAB as a problem solving tool

This text presents MATLAB both as a mathematical tool and a programming language, giving a concise and easy to master introduction to its potential and power. Stressing the importance of a structured approach to problem solving, the text gives a step-by-step method for program design and algorithm development. The fundamentals of MATLAB are illustrated throughout with many examples from a wide range of familiar scientific and engineering areas, as well as from everyday life.

Features:

Includes MATLAB Version 7.2, Release 2006a
Numerous simple exercises provide hands-on learning of MATLABs functions
A new chapter on dynamical systems shows how a structured approach is used to solve more complex problems.
Common errors and pitfalls highlighted
Concise introduction to useful topics for solving problems in later engineering and science courses: vectors as arrays, arrays of characters, GUIs, advanced graphics, simulation and numerical methods
Text and graphics in four colour
Extensive instructor support
