Illustrating MATLAB best practices through practical engineering examples 

Best-selling author Delores Etter provides an up-to-date survey of MATLAB® in her 4th Edition of Introduction to MATLAB. Using a consistent five-step methodology for solving engineering problems, Etter demonstrates the exceptional computational and visualization capabilities of MATLAB and integrates real-world engineering and scientific examples with solutions and usable code. The discussions, screen captures, examples, and problem solutions have been updated to reflect MATLAB Version 8.2, R2013b. This book is suitable as a primary text for an introductory engineering course or as a supplemental text for an intermediate or advanced course. No prior experience with computers is needed. The text is also useful as a professional reference.
