3.0 out of 5 stars
Not very good for coding,
This review is from: Introduction to Matlab 7 for Engineers (Paperback)
Although this book has a lot of pertinent information to engineers, I bought it with the intent of learning the fundamentals of coding in MATLAB. I have a class in which our teacher assigns problems in MATLAB, but none of the students have experience in MATLAB. I bought the book to help me figure out how to write codes and it doesn't do that too well, but I could see how it might work well for someone familiar with MATLAB who needs to use it for an engineering problems.

This review is from: Introduction to MATLAB 7 for Engineers (Paperback)
This is an introductory book on MATLAB for engineers. There is a section on problem solving in Chapter 1. This is followed in Chapter 2 and 3 by matrix operations, and files, functions, and data structures. Programming, plotting, and model building are discussed in Chapters 4 and 5. Solving linear algebraic equations is presented in Chapter 6. This is followed in Chapter 7 by statistical functions and interpolaton. Chapter 8 teaches calculus and differential equations. Finally, computer algebra with the symbolic math toolbox is discussed in Chapter 9. The examples presented are diverse from various branches of engineering. However, if you are just beginning to learn MATLAB, check the book "MATLAB for Beginners: A Gentle Approach."
