Description
For engineering students in MATLAB and Numerical Methods courses.
The text is designed to develop a strong working knowledge of MATLAB, and to use this capability to write efficient, compact programs to solve engineering problems of varying complexity. It can also be used as a supplement for many engineering courses that use MATLAB, as a reference for obtaining numerical solutions to a wide range of engineering problems and as a source of applications of a wide variety of MATLAB solution techniques.
