Introduction to Computational Engineering with MATLAB® aims to teach readers how to use MATLAB programming to solve numerical engineering problems. The book focuses on computational engineering with the objective of helping engineering students improve their numerical problem-solving skills. The book cuts a middle path between undergraduate texts that simply focus on programming and advanced mathematical texts that skip over foundational concepts, feature cryptic mathematical expressions, and do not provide sufficient support for novices.
Although this book covers some advanced topics, readers do not need prior computer programming experience or an advanced mathematical background. Instead, the focus is on learning how to leverage the computer and software environment to do the hard work. The problem areas discussed are related to data-driven engineering, statistics, linear algebra, and numerical methods. Some example problems discussed touch on robotics, control systems, and machine learning.
This second edition includes several corrections, additions, and new exercises across all chapters. The linear algebra chapter is reorganized with the least squares regression, eigenvalue, SVD, and PCA material separated into their own chapters. Additional content was also added on the Cholesky decomposition of positive definite matrices, numerical stability, and applications of the orthogonal QR and SVD matrix decompositions in rectangular systems of equations.
A new chapter provides detailed reference material seldom found in undergraduate textbooks, describing modern orthogonal matrix factorization algorithms with source code implementations of QR decomposition, eigendecomposition with the QR and Francis (implicitly shifted QR) algorithms, and the singular value decomposition.
Features
- Demonstrates through algorithms and code segments how numeric problems are solved with only a few lines of MATLAB code
- Quickly teaches students the basics and gets them started programming interesting problems as soon as possible
- No prior computer programming experience or advanced math skills required
- Suitable for students at the undergraduate level who have prior knowledge of college algebra and trigonometry, and are enrolled in Calculus I
- MATLAB script files, functions, and datasets used in examples are available for download from www.routledge.com/9781041169086

About the Author
Tim Bower is a Professor of Robotics and Automation Engineering Technology and Computer Systems Technology at Kansas State University, Salina. He received the B.S. in Electrical Engineering from Kansas State University (K-State) in 1987 and the M.S. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Kansas in 1990. He was a Senior Member of the Technical Staff at Sprint's Local Telephone Division from 1989 to 1998. From 1998 to 2003, he was a systems administration manager and instructor while taking graduate coursework in Computer Science at Kansas State University in Manhattan, Kansas. He joined the faculty at K-State's Salina campus in 2004. He teaches undergraduate courses related to programming in C, Python, and \MATLAB, robotics programming, machine vision, numerical computation, operating systems, data structures and algorithms, and systems administration. He is the recipient of the 2015 and 2016 Excellence in Innovation Award, and the 2025 Marchbanks Memorial Award for Teaching Excellence.

Right of withdrawal
If you are a consumer you can withdraw from the contract in accordance with the following. Consumer means any natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside his trade, business, craft or profession.
Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to moluna, Greven, Germany, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
