    Summary note
    All disciplines of science and engineering use numerical methods for complex problem analysis, due to the highly mathematical nature of the field. Analytical methods alone a unable to solve many of the complex problems engineering students and professionals confront. Designed especially for second-year undergraduate students and beyond, this book examines the basic elements of code writing and describes MATLAB methods for solving common engineering problems and applications across the range of engineering discipline. The text uses a class-tested learning approach and accessible two-color page design to guide students from basic programming to the skills needed for future coursework and engineering practice. This book: Presents clear and detailed explanations of the basic steps in learning MATLAB Includes real-world examples from all major engineering disciplines Prepares students for numerical methods and other courses that involve MATLAB Includes two-color graphics to highlight MATLAB screen shots and step-by-step procedures Supported by a range of instructor supplements and optional MATLAB code Book jacket.
