For courses in Engineering. Start at the beginning to introduce your students to MATLAB MATLAB® For Engineers introduces students the MATLAB coding language. Developed out of Moore’s experience teaching MATLAB and other languages, the text meets students at their level of mathematical and computer sophistication. Starting with basic algebra, the book shows how MATLAB can be used to solve a wide range of engineering problems. Examples drawn from concepts introduced in early chemistry and physics classes and freshman and sophomore engineering classes stick to a consistent problem-solving methodology. Students reading this text should have an understanding of college-level algebra and basic trigonometry. The text includes brief backgrounds when introducing new subjects like statistics and matrix algebra. Sections on calculus and differential equations are introduced near the end and can be used for additional reading material for students with more advanced mathematical backgrounds.
As a piece of information? 5/5. It even made me laugh in some sections to make the point really get home. Examples are detailed and I never read anything that didn't have an explanation provided if it looked confusing. It also makes a great effort in explaining using engineering problems while also introducing said engineering problems without making you feel you are losing a lot for not knowing the topics beforehand.
This book should be printed in series as follows: Series 1 (Electrical Engineering): all examples should only be about Electrical systems. Series 2 (Mechanical Engineering): all examples should only be about Mechanical systems. Series 3 (Thermal Engineering): all examples should only be about Thermal systems. Series 4 (Chemical Engineering): all examples should only be about Chemical systems. Series 5 (Mathematical analysis): all examples should only be about Mathematical systems. And so on .....
Truly, fall in love with this book. The book explained details on how to do programming using MATLAB. Until now, still using this book for my reference when teaching MATLAB to other students.
