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.

MATLAB is a high-level technical computing language and interactive environment for algorithm development, data visualization, data analysis, and numeric computation. Using the MATLAB product, you can solve technical computing problems faster than with traditional programming languages, such as C, C++, and Fortran. You can use MATLAB in a wide range of applications, including signal and image processing, communications, control design, test and measurement, financial modeling and analysis, and computational biology. Add-on toolboxes (collections of special-purpose MATLAB functions, available separately) extend the MATLAB environment to solve particular classes of problems in these application areas.

MATLAB - A high-level language for technical computing, interactive environment for algorithm development, and modern tools of data analysis. MATLAB compared to traditional programming languages ??(C / C + +, Java, Pascal, FORTRAN) allows an order to reduce the time solution of typical problems and simplifies the development of new algorithms. MATLAB is the foundation of the entire family of products and MathWorks is the main tool for solving a wide range of scientific and applied problems in areas such as: modeling facilities and development of management systems, design of communication systems, signal and image processing, measurement signals and testing, financial modeling, computational biology, etc.
