Kalechman M. Practical MatLAB Basics for Engineers

Taylor & Francis, 2008. - 698 pages.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.Table Of Contents: Preface, Trends, the Industry, and MatLAB; Getting Started; Matrices, Arrays, Vectors, and Sets; Trigonometric, Exponential, Logarithmic, and Special Functions; Printing and Plotting; Complex Numbers; Polynomials and Calculus, a Numerical and Symbolic Approach; Decisions and Relations; Files, Statistics, and Performance Analysis; Bibliography; Index.
