MATLAB for Engineers International Version - AND MATLAB and Simulink Student Version Release 2009

With a hands-on approach and focus on problem solving, this introduction to the powerful Matlab computing language is designed for students with only a basic college algebra background.

Numerous examples are drawn from a range of engineering disciplines, demonstrating Matlab's applications to a broad variety of problems.

Note: This book is included in Prentice Hall's ESource series.

ESource allows professors to select the content appropriate for their first-year engineering course.

Professors can adopt the published manuals as is or use ESource's website www.prenhall.com/esource to view and select the chapters they need, in the sequence they want.

The option to add their own material or copyrighted material from other publishers also exists.

This book is packaged with MATLAB(r), a high-level language and interactive environment that lets students focus on their course work and applications, rather than on programming details.

It enables students to solve many numerical problems in a fraction of the time it takes to write a program in a lower-level language such as Java , C, C++, or Fortran. You can also use MATLAB to analyze and visualize data using automation capabilities, thereby avoiding the manual repetition common with other products. The MATLAB in Student Version provides all the features and capabilities of the professional version of MATLAB software, with no limitations.

There are a few small differences between the Student Version interface and the professional version of MATLAB
