Essentials of MATLAB® Programming
By Stephen J. Chapman
About your course materials
Introduce the MATLAB language to your students and show how to use it to solve typical problems with the concise, successful ESSENTIALS OF MATLAB® PROGRAMMING, 3E. Author Stephen Chapman emphasizes problem-solving skills throughout this edition as he presents MATLAB as a technical programming language. The book clearly shows students how to write clean, efficient and well-documented programs, while simultaneously introducing them to many of the practical functions of MATLAB. The first seven chapters are ideal for an “Introduction to Programming and Problem Solving” course for freshman engineering students. The last two chapters address more advanced topics of additional data types and plot types, cell arrays, structures, and new MATLAB handle graphics.

BRIEF VERSION HIGHLIGHTS THE MOST IMPORTANT PARTS OF USING MATLAB. This concise, streamlined text emphasizes the MATLAB skills students are most likely to use on a daily basis, while still emphasizing MATLAB’s use as a programming language.
PRESENTATION TEACHES THE PROPER USE OF MATLAB’S BUILT IN TOOLS. Students leave your course equipped to complete more efficient programming and debugging.
MATERIAL EMPHASIZES METHODS FOR EFFICIENTLY LOCATING DESIRED FUNCTIONS WITHIN MATLAB. In addition to teaching key features of MATLAB, this brief text places important emphasis on teaching students where to find the functions that they need within the MATLAB platform.
GOOD PROGRAMMING PRACTICES ARE EMPHASIZED THROUGHOUT. The author carefully reinforces strong programming skills, such as top-down design. He emphasizes the importance of first clearly defining the problem to be solved as well as required inputs and outputs before starting any project.
