Introduction To Numerical And Analytical Methods With Matlab For Engineers And Scientists eBook

This textbook teaches students how to write computer programs on the MATLAB platform and to use many of MATLAB''s built-in functions to solve engineering-type problems. To students, MATLAB''s built-in functions are black boxes. By combining a textbook on MATLAB with basic numerical and analytical analysis, the mystery of what the black boxes contain is somewhat alleviated. Within each chapter there are exercises related to the topics just covered. The text contains many examples from mechanical, civil, aeronautical, and electrical engineering.
