SynopsisFully updated to comply with MATLAB 2008, Engineering Computation with MATLAB, Second Edition, introduces computing to students with no programming experience, David Smith places programming fundamentals into the context of MATLAB 2008, employing hands-on exercises, examples from the engineering industry, and a variety of core tools to increase problem-solving capability and proficiency. Features Engineering Examples are interspersed throughout each chapter, illustrating how concepts are used in the real world. Exercises with a "Do it Yourself" approach allow students to apply MATLAB implementation to the theories presented in the text. End-of-chapter materials include a Chapter Summary, a Self Test with True or False and Fill in the Blank questions, a list of Special Characters, Reserved Words, and Functions, and extensively revised Programming Project to reinforce key ideas. Each new copy of Engineering Computation with MATLAB, Second Edition, comes with and access card to the Companion Website, which features six bonus chapters, an additional appendix, answers to the Self test questions, source code, and solutions to some of the programming projects.
