Summary

For first-year or introductory Engineering courses.


Illustrating MATLAB best practices through practical engineering examples 

In her 4th Edition of Introduction to MATLAB,best-selling author Delores Etter provides an up-to-date survey of MATLAB©, the technical computing environment of choice for many professional engineers and scientists. 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. 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.
