MATLAB For Engineers starts at the beginning to introduce first-year engineering students to MATLAB. Starting with basic algebra, you'll learn how MATLAB can be used to solve a wide range of engineering problems. Examples taken from concepts presented in early chemistry, physics, and first- and second-year engineering classes are included. When the text covers new subjects, like statistics and matrix algebra, brief background information is used to support your success. As you work through hands-on examples and exercises, you'll learn to apply a consistent problem-solving methodology to help you reach a solution.

The 6th Edition reflects the MATLAB software release R2021B. Updated screenshots, new data, new problems and discussions offer a current view of the coding language and platform you'll use in your classes and career.

MATLAB is a “multiparadigm” programming language, which means it can be used in several different ways to perform programming tasks. Those tasks can range from something as simple as balancing your checkbook to complex engineering modeling applications. The way you approach the calculations required to complete these tasks may be different, depending on your experience and personal preferences, the number of calculations required, the amount of data involved, mathematical limitations, the audience for the results, and many other considerations.

MATLAB is a versatile language, but it can’t do everything. It is a large application program designed to optimize mathematical calculations; number-crunching is where it shines. You wouldn’t want to use it to write a word-processing program, for example. If you wanted to write an operating system or design software, C ++, Java, or some other higher-level language would be a better choice. In fact, MATLAB was originally written in Fortran and then later rewritten in C. So why use MATLAB instead of the underlying high-level language for any programming task? It is easier to formulate mathematical problems in MATLAB, the use of array calculations makes repetitive calculations run faster in MATLAB than in the underlying language, and there is easy access to graphics to help you display your results.
