Features: This is an excellent introductory book on MATLAB. It is designed for MATLAB beginners, enabling them to easily master basic programming methods through reading this book and further enhance their MATLAB skills. The book provides numerous typical examples that are simple to learn, further enriching its content. The exercises listed by the author at the end of each chapter are excellent and not clichéd. — Brittany Coats and Susan Margulies, University of Pennsylvania
The examples in the book are very good, and I am particularly satisfied with the large number of custom functions provided. The exercises are also quite well done. — Bradley T. Burchett, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology
The highlights of this book are the numerous outstanding examples and the content from Chapters 8 to 14, which are relatively independent of the first part of the book. As an engineering application book, it is highly comprehensive and well-written. — Vijay Sekhar Chellaboina, Tennessee University
Compared to other related books I have read, this book has a certain depth, and the typical examples are unique. Some chapters cover multiple disciplines such as mechanical part design, dynamics and vibration, control systems, fluid mechanics, and heat conduction, reflecting advanced technologies in these fields and providing a good engineering textbook. — Donald Yee, Mesa Community College
The main purpose of this book is to help readers master MATLAB knowledge and flexibly apply it to solve a wide range of engineering problems. Based on MATLAB 7.15, the book introduces the basic principles of MATLAB and its applications in various engineering fields. In the principles section, it covers basic usage of MATLAB, the representation and operations of matrices and vectors in MATLAB, data input/output, MATLAB functions, program flow control, and the creation of 2D and 3D graphics. In terms of engineering applications, it introduces MATLAB's applications in fields such as mechanical part design, dynamics and vibration, control systems, fluid mechanics, heat conduction, optimization, and engineering statistics. The book provides numerous detailed engineering application examples, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
