ABOUT THE BOOK:
This book is developed to improve the programming in skills of students using MATLAB environment and to use it as a tool in solving problems in engineering. An introduction to MATLAB basics is presented along with MATLAB commands. Computer aided design and analysis using MATLAB with the Symbolic Math Tool box and the Control System Tool box has been incorporated. The book contains many solved problems and unsolved exercise problems that demonstrate the application of MATLAB to the analysis of problems in control systems, basic engineering mechanics: statics and dynamics, mechanical vibrations, electrical circuits and numerical methods.

This review is from: MATLAB for Mechanical Engineers (Hardcover)

I've just got this book 2 hours ago, and skimmed all the 608 pages twice. I have to say this book is amazing, and Dr. Rao V Dukkipati, the author of the book, has done an excellent job.

This book isn't a normal MATLAB book teaching common programmings and stuff, but a dictionary of MATLAB and mechanics. (This is a book highly specialized for engineers.)

I also have a book called "MATLAB a practical introduction to programming and problem solving" written by Stormy Attaway. It is a well-written book too, but not for my use in college so, it's been in my bookshelf.

I highly recommend you to use Ch. 1 and 2 as a dictionary. These chapters make your life a lot easier. Ch. 3 will be your great reference of solving actual engineering problems using MATLAB. You don't expect this kind of stuff from other MATLAB books.

If you are not satisfied with usual MATLAB books, get this one. Investing 100 bucks on this is really cheap if you wish to use MATLAB for engineering classes and real life application.
