About the Book

Features *Emphasizes engineering subjects of practical importance, each of which is introduced by a concise summary of the applicable theoretical results. Over 200 worked examples from a very wide range of engineering topics illustrate the various ways to use MATLAB and illustrate important engineering principles and their extensions. Numerous illustrations of the Controls, Simulink, Statistics, Optimization and PDE (Partial Differential Equation) toolboxes, including detailed instructions on how to use Simulink to solve control systems and pdetool to solve problems in solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, aerodynamics and heat transfer. The chapters applying MATLAB to various engineering subjects were written by experts in their fields. Over 175 challenging exercises covering a wide range of engineering topics. Extensively classrooms-tested at the sophomore level through the first year graduate level.
