Editorial Reviews

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.

Ancillaries available with the text:

  • Instructor solution manual (available Aug. 1st)
  • electronic images from the text (available Aug 16th)
  • m-files (available Aug 1st)


* Presents programming concepts and MATLAB built-in functions side-by-side, giving students the ability to program efficiently and exploit the power of MATLAB to solve problems. * In depth coverage of file input/output, a topic essential for many engineering applications * Systematic, step-by-step approach, building on concepts throughout the book, facilitating easier learning * Sections on ‘common pitfalls’ and ‘programming guidelines’ direct students towards best practice

* New to this edition:

  • More engineering applications help the reader learn Matlab in the context of solving technical problems
  • New and revised end of chapter problems
  • Stronger coverage of loops and vectorizing in a new chapter, chapter 5
  • Updated to reflect current features and functions of the current release of Matlab

Daniel Wilt @ 2011-09-14  Poor formatting

I purchased the Kindle edition of this book. From what I've read so far (about 100 pages?) the text is actually fairly well written, and seems like a good introduction. However, I need to point out that the formatting of the Kindle edition is poor quality - row vectors and matrices are run together, and indenting and spacing is often wrong and confusing. This is not just a few typos! I spent a minute or two examining the claim that the number 3 and the character '3' format differently in Matlab output - they are identical in the Kindle edition. I expected more from a text ported to Kindle, and strongly suggest the editor clean up the Kindle edition!

CrusherW9 @ 2011-09-20  College Kid Review

I got this book because my school didn't have it in stock yet. I ordered them before realizing that it said the estimated delivery date was ~2 months later. Well I decided to keep the order and see if I would get them before my school did. Sure enough I did. Got the book maybe a week or week and a half after I ordered. No complaints about it. Great shape, as expected.

Ashley @ 2011-09-19  Fantastic Introduction

The author is very clear, and the examples are to-the-point and fun! The author also draws parallels between Matlab and general programming theory, making this an excellent introduction to both linear algebra and computer programming.
