MATLAB Programming for Engineers

TIMELY CONTENT HIGHLIGHTS THE MATLAB® GUI APPS. Students study MATLAB® GUI apps and learn the concepts common to all GUI programming in any language (callbacks, listeners, events, event handlers, etc.) in the process of studying the specific MATLAB® implementation.

ADDITIONAL APPLICATIONS AND END-OF-CHAPTER EXERCISES PROVIDE FURTHER OPPORTUNITIES TO APPLY CONCEPTS. Students find numerous and varied options for practicing skills with the contemporary applications, exercises and problems throughout this edition. The problems typically start with a simple example in the text created to illustrate some feature of the language, followed by the built-in MATLAB® functions that solve a much more comprehensive set of problems in the same area.

EQUIVALENTS REPLACE COVERAGE OF MANY OLDER MATLAB® FEATURES. MathWorks recommends the use of strings over character arrays almost everywhere, which is reflected throughout this edition.

STEP-BY-STEP PRESENTATIONS HELP READERS MAXIMIZE EFFECTIVE USE OF MATLAB®. The author effectively covers the use of functions to decompose tasks into smaller subtasks, data hiding and unit testing. Readers learn how to avoid common mistakes as well as maximize the tools and techniques available through MATLAB®.
