Advanced Guide to MATLAB: Practical Examples in Science and Engineering

A sequel to Understanding MATLAB: A Textbook For Beginners, which has been published earlier, this book is an advanced-level guide to MATLAB with a number of applications in science and engineering. There are a number of solved problems from all important areas of science and engineering to give enough practice to the reader. MATLAB integrates computation, visualization and programming in a very user-friendly and easy-to use environment. This book is mainly aimed at those who already know the basics of the language and would like to use MATLAB to solve advanced engineering problems. Here, in this book, the authors have tried to illustrate the advanced features of MATLAB. Salient Features: Provides a crisp discussion on the history and evolution of MATLAB Discusses the MATLAB compiler and how it works Detailed treatment of Numbers, Matrices and Matrix operations Dedicated chapters on Plotting, Image Processing, and Animations, Sounds and Movies Comprehensive coverage of Numerical Methods.
