MATLAB: A Practical Introduction to Programming and Problem Solving

MATLAB is now pervasive as the software tool for solving scientific and engineering problems using both its powerful built-in functions and its ability to program. Assuming no knowledge of programming, this book presents programming concepts and MATLAB's built in functions, providing a perfect platform for exploiting MATLAB's extensive capabilities for tackling engineering problems. It starts with programming concepts, such as variables, assignments, and selection statements, moves on to loops and then solves problems using both the programming concept and the power of MATLAB. In-depth coverage is given to input/output, a topic fundamental to many engineering applications.
