Introduction to MATLAB for Engineers and Scientists: Solutions for Numerical Computation and Modeling

Introduction to MATLAB for Engineers and Scientists is focused on writing code to learn concepts. Starting from the basics, this book covers array-based computing, plotting and working with files, numerical computation formalism, and the primary concepts of approximations. This book is useful for industry engineers, researchers, and students who are looking for open-source solutions for numerical computation. First, the reader will see how to run basic calculations, absorbing technical complexities incrementally as they progress toward advanced topics. Throughout, the language is kept simple to ensure that readers at all levels can grasp the concepts. 

MATLAB is introduced and used to solve numerous examples in the book. Symbolic Math Toolbox is also briefly used in the book.
