The essential guide to MATLAB as a problem solving tool
This text presents MATLAB both as a mathematical tool and a programming language, giving a concise and easy to master introduction to its potential and power. The fundamentals of MATLAB are illustrated throughout with many examples from a wide range of familiar scientific and engineering areas, as well as from everyday life. The new edition has been updated to include coverage of Symbolic Math and SIMULINK. It also adds new examples and applications, and uses the most recent release of Matlab.
· New chapters on Symbolic Math and SIMULINK provide complete coverage of all the functions available in the student edition of Matlab.
New: more exercises and examples, including new examples of beam bending, flow over an airfoil, and other physics-based problems
New: A bibliography provides sources for the engineering problems and examples discussed in the text
· A chapter on algorithm development and program design
· Common errors and pitfalls highlighted
· Extensive teacher support on solutions manual, extra problems, multiple choice questions, PowerPoint slides
· Companion website for students providing M-files used within the book
Autorenporträt
Brian Hahn graduated from the University of Cape Town before obtaining a PhD from Cambridge in high energy physics. He lectured in Applied Mathematics at the University of the Witwatersrand for a number of years before moving to Cape Town. He is an associate professor (and Head of Department) in Mathematics & Applied Mathematics at the University of Cape Town, where he has specialised in teaching programming languages to beginners for more than 20 years. He has written a number of popular computing books, on Fortran 77 and 90, GW-BASIC, True BASIC, Turbo Pascal, C++, Matlab and, most recently, Java. When not writing a new book, he carries out research in rangeland modelling. Spare time activies include birding, jogging, and planting indigenous trees on the small holding he shares with his wife and numerous german shepherd dogs.
