This is the essential guide to MATLAB as a problem solving tool. This text presents MATLAB both as a mathematical tool and a programming language, giving a concise and easy to master introduction to its potential and power. Stressing the importance of a structured approach to problem solving, the text gives a step-by-step method for program design and algorithm development. The fundamentals of MATLAB are illustrated throughout with many examples from a wide range of familiar scientific and engineering areas, as well as from everyday life. This title features: numerous simple exercises provide hands-on learning of MATLAB's functions; a new chapter on dynamical systems shows how a structured approach is used to solve more complex problems; common errors and pitfalls highlighted; concise introduction to useful topics for solving problems in later engineering and science courses - vectors as arrays, arrays of characters, GUIs, advanced graphics, simulation and numerical methods; text and graphics in four colour; and, extensive instructor support.
"Essential MATLAB for Engineers and Scientists" is an ideal textbook for a first course on MATLAB or an engineering problem solving course using MATLAB, as well as a self-learning tutorial for students and professionals expected to learn and apply MATLAB for themselves. Additional material is available for lecturers only at companion website for students providing M-files used within the book.
Brian Hahn graduated from the University of Cape Town before obtaining a PhD from Cambridge in high energy physics. He lectured in Applied Mathematics at the University of the Witwatersrand for a number of years before moving to Cape Town. He is an associate professor (and Head of Department) in Mathematics & Applied Mathematics at the University of Cape Town, where he has specialised in teaching programming languages to beginners for more than 20 years. He has written a number of popular computing books, on Fortran 77 and 90, GW-BASIC, True BASIC, Turbo Pascal, C++, Matlab and, most recently, Java. When not writing a new book, he carries out research in rangeland modelling. Spare time activies include birding, jogging, and planting indigenous trees on the small holding he shares with his wife and numerous german shepherd dogs.
