With more than 150 worked examples and 250 figures, this textbook covers the fundamentals of MATLAB Â® and its applications in engineering, physics, and finance. The first part of the book introduces the basics of MATLAB, including how to solve systems of simultaneous equations, matrix equations, and differential equations using MATLAB. The second part demonstrates how to prepare programs in MATLAB, illustrating the development of graphical user interfaces. A separate section presents Simulink and its applications. The last part covers applications to engineering, physics, and finance. The author also provides homework problems and a solutions manual for qualifying instructors.
