Engineering and Scientific Computations Using MATLAB

Master MATLAB(r) step-by-step The MATLAB-- "MATrix LABoratory"--computational environment offersa rich set of capabilities to efficiently solve a variety ofcomplex analysis, simulation, and optimization problems. Flexible,powerful, and relatively easy to use, the MATLAB environment hasbecome a standard cost-effective tool within the engineering,science, and technology communities. Excellent as a self-teachingguide for professionals as well as a textbook for students,Engineering and Scientific Computations Using MATLAB helps youfully understand the MATLAB environment, build your skills, andapply its features to a wide range of applications. Going beyond traditional MATLAB user manuals and college texts,Engineering and Scientific Computations Using MATLAB guides youthrough the most important aspects and basics of MATLAB programmingand problem-solving from fundamentals to practice. Augmenting itsdiscussion with a wealth of practical worked-out examples andqualitative illustrations, this book demonstrates MATLAB'scapabilities and offers step-by-step instructions on how to applythe theory to a practical real-world problem. In particular, thebook features: * Coverage of a variety of complex physical and engineering systemsdescribed by nonlinear differential equations * Detailed application of MATLAB to electromechanical systems MATLAB files, scripts, and statements, as well as SIMULINK modelswhich can be easily modified for application-specific problemsencountered in practice Readable, user-friendly, and comprehensivein scope this is a welcome introduction to MATLAB for those new tothe program and an ideal companion for engineers seeking in-depthmastery of the high-performance MATLAB environment.
