Synopsis

MATLAB is a powerful, comprehensive and easy-to-use environment for performing technical computations. It is an interactive program that helps you with numeric computation and data visualization. MATLAB for Engineers provides a clear and concise introduction to MATLAB and explores its use in solving engineering problems. Written for engineering students and practising engineers, the book shows how MATLAB can be used to perform calculations, store tables and interpolate between stored values, process numbers obtained by data-acquisitions systems and prepare engineering and research reports. The book is divided into two parts: Part I is a guided introduction to MATLAB which aims to teach the program in a hands-on fashion; Part II is an exploration of how MATLAB can be used to solve large classes of engineering problems in a variety of engineering disciplines.

From the Back Cover

MATLAB 5 FOR ENGINEERS
Adrian Biran
Moshe Breiner
MATLAB 5 is the latest version of the popular, comprehensive and easy-to-use environment for performing technical calculations. Its interactive nature offers invaluable assistance with numeric computation and data visualization.
MATLAB 5 for Engineers provides a clear and concise introduction to MATLAB 5, demonstrating its enhanced programming capabilities and exploring its use in solving engineering problems. Written for engineering students and practising engineers, it shows how MATLAB can be used to perform calculations, store tables and interpolate between stored values, process numbers obtained by data acquistion systems, and prepare engineering and research reports.
The book is split into three parts- Chapter 1 is a concise MATLAB tutorial for users wishing to get quickly acquainted with the package itself; Part I (Chapters 2-10) is an introduction for engineers, beginning with basic calculations and helping the user to master techniques for solving progressively more complex problems; Part II (Chapters 11-17) focuses on more advanced material, featuring specialized applications and new functions.
Key features include-
· Full coverage of all the main features of MATLAB 5
· A guided introduction to the basic MATLAB functions
· Written in a clear and readable style
· A wealth of end of chapter exercises, with solutions to selected problems
· Real world examples from engineering mathematics, mechanical and electrical engineering
· Appendices and summaries to reinforce learning
· Studies of classical engineering problems, for which MATLAB yields concise and elegant solutions
