Matlab: A Practical Introduction to Programming and Problem Solving,
2nd Edition
Stormy Attaway
ISBN: 978-0-12-385081-2
Assuming no knowledge of programming, this book presents both programming concepts and MATLAB's built-in functions, providing a perfect platform for exploiting MATLAB's extensive capabilities for tackling engineering problems. It starts with programming concepts such as variables, assignments, input/output, and selection statements, moves onto loops and then solves problems using both the 'programming concept' and the 'power of MATLAB' side-by-side. In-depth coverage is given to input/output, a topic that is fundamental to many engineering applications... [more]

dimension of engineering and shows how values and responsibility
relate to everyday practice. Looking at the underlying value systems
that inform practical thinking the book offers a framework for ethical
decision-making... [more]
