Description
This book is written in a way that changes the perspective of engineers and their adherence to formulas, placing them in a decision-making context. Through clear explanations and real-world examples, the second edition shows how to apply science and technology to solve problems facing society today. The basic concepts of math and science are used in the context of solving these engineering problems. It emphasizes how to use models to collect and analyze information and make technical decisions. Engineers will also gain a stronger understanding of solving engineering problems with MATLAB.
