MATLAB Programming

The book presents a collection of MATLAB-based chapters of various engineering background. Instead of giving exhausting amount of technical details, authors were rather advised to explain relations of their problems to actual MATLAB concepts. So, whenever possible, download links to functioning MATLAB codes were added and a potential reader can do own testing. Authors are typically scientists with interests in modeling in MATLAB. Chapters include image and signal processing, mechanics and dynamics, models and data identification in biology, fuzzy logic, discrete event systems and data acquisition systems.

This book presents computer programming as a key method for solving mathematical problems using MATLAB and GNU Octave. There are two versions of the book, one for MATLAB and one for Python. The book was inspired by the Springer book TCSE 6: A Primer on Scientific Programming with Python (by Langtangen), but the style is more accessible and concise, in keeping with the needs of engineering students.

This book was developed for a course on applied numerical methods for Engineering. The main goals these lectures are to introduce concepts of numerical methods and introduce Matlab in an Engineering framework.

This book provides an excellent initiation into programming in MATLAB while serving as a teaser for more advanced topics. It provides a structured entry into MATLAB programming through well designed exercises.

The goal of this book is to provide you with skills in scientific computing: tools and techniques that you can use in your own scientific research. We will focus on learning to think about experiments and data in a computational framework, and we will learn to implement specific algorithms using a high-level programming language (MATLAB).

This concise book is known for its just-in-time learning approach that gives students information when they need it, includes numerous sample problems in mathematics, science, and engineering that are similar to problems encountered by new users of MATLAB.

The MATLAB programming language is commonly used in engineering and scientific computation. I wrote this book to give first year students a basic introduction to MATLAB syntax and algorithmic thinking. This is by no means a comprehensive resource. It is meant to get students started and allow them to transition to more complex material.

You learn how to write clean, efficient and well-documented programs as you simultaneously gain an understanding of the many practical functions of MATLAB, and work with new MATLAB GUI (Graphical User Interface) Apps.

This book is specifically designed for students with no programming experience. However, students are expected to be proficient in first year mathematics and sciences and access to good reference books are highly recommended. Students are assumed to have a working knowledge of the Mac OS X or Microsoft Windows operating systems.

This open access book presents a comprehensive guide to MATLAB programming, catering to students, engineers, and researchers seeking to harness MATLAB as a powerful tool for their work.
