MATLAB for Engineering Applications is a simple, concise book designed to be useful for beginners and to be kept as a reference. MATLAB is a globally available standard computational tool for engineers and scientists. This text is intended as a stand-alone introduction to MATLAB and can be used in an introductory course, as a self-study text, or as a supplementary text. The texts material is based on the authors experience in teaching a required two-credit semester course devoted to MATLAB for engineering freshmen.
This title will be available in Connect, but is not available with SmartBook. Instructor Resources available for this title include: Solutions Manual, Presentation Tools Table (includes Lecture PowerPoints and Image Bank), MATLAB Files, MATLAB Live Scripts.
