Fully updated to comply with MATLAB 2008, Engineering Computation with MATLAB(R) Second Edition introduces the power of computing to engineering students with no programming experience. Professor and trained engineer, David Smith, places the fundamental tenets of computer programming into the context of MATLAB 2008, employing hands-on exercises, examples from the engineering industry, and a variety of core tools to increase programming proficiency and capability. With this knowledge, students are prepared to adapt learned concepts to other programming languages.
