4.0 out of 5 stars
Turned MATLAB loose on a variety of engineering problems, November 18, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Advanced Mathematics and Mechanics Applications Using MATLAB, Second Edition (Hardcover)
This book begins with an introduction to MATLAB, language and graphics. I found this useful (fprint instead of disp, for example). Many engineering problems are set up and solved using MATLAB functions and m-files Applications of Fourier Series, the Dynamic Response of Second-Order Systems, and problems in ordinary and partial differential equations are presented. Many of the problems are specialized (consider the forced vibration of a pile embedded in an elastic medium, for example). Overall I liked the book, it presents a brief overview of the mathematics upon which each problem is based, and the m-files are well documented. I'm using it in an Applied Mathematics class.
