"MATLAB/Simulink Essentials is an interactive approach based guide for students to learn how to employ essential and hands-on tools and functions of the MATLAB and Simulink packages to solve engineering and scientific computer problems, which are explained and demonstrated explicitly via examples, exercises and case studies. The main principle of the book is based on learnng by doing and mastering by practicing. It contains hundreds of solved problems with simulation models via M-files/scripts and Simulink models related to engineering and scientific computing issues. The audience of the book is not only limited to undergraduate students majoring in enginering and scientific computing areas but also postgraduate and research students, and practicing engineers in industry and independent learners. There are many hints and pitfalls indicating efficient usage of MATLAB/Simulink tools and functions, efficient programming methods, and pinpointing most common errors occurred in programming and using MATLAB's built-in tools and functions and Simulink modeling. Every chapter ends with relevant drill exercises for self-testing purposes." -- Back cover.

Based on a teach-yourself approach, the fundamentals of MATLAB are illustrated throughout with many examples from a number of different scientific and engineering areas, such as simulation, population modelling, and numerical methods, as well as from business and everyday life. Some of the examples draw on first-year university level maths, but these are self-contained so that their omission will not detract from learning the principles of using MATLAB.This completely revised new edition is based on the latest version of MATLAB. New chapters cover handle graphics, graphical user interfaces (GUIs), structures and cell arrays, and importing/exporting data. The chapter on numerical methods now includes a general GUI-driver ODE solver.* Maintains the easy informal style of the first edition* Teaches the basic principles of scientific programming with MATLAB as the vehicle* Covers the latest version of MATLAB

This textbook introduces powerful computational software tool called MATLAB. The main objective of this book is to expose the readers to MATLAB features that integrate computation, visualization and programming in an easy-to-use environment. This book covers built-in functions of MATLAB, commands and their applications in topics of mathematical physics and engineering mathematics. The book is written in a very simple language and chapters are arranged sequentially. Each topic covered in this book, has its corresponding theoretical explanation prior to its MATLAB execution. The authors explain concepts with the help of screenshots of the MATLAB software and programming codes with their outputs. This approach not only creates a direct link between the book and the MATLAB software but also imbibes the feeling of actual interaction with MATLAB software. A sufficient number of examples based on MATLAB programming codes have been worked out so that students can grasp the concepts, the ideas, and the results in an easy way. At the end of each chapter, students will have a chance to answer several application-based questions in exercise. All these features make this book to be used as a textbook for theoretical learning as well as for laboratory course. The book is suitable for the undergraduate and postgraduate students of mathematics, physics, instrumentation and electronics. The undergraduate students of engineering will also find this book useful.

All disciplines of science and engineering use numerical methods for complex problem analysis, due to the highly mathematical nature of the field. Analytical methods alone are unable to solve many complex problems engineering students and professionals confront. Introduction to MATLAB® Programming for Engineers and Scientists examines the basic elements of code writing, and describes MATLAB® methods for solving common engineering problems and applications across the range of engineering disciplines. The text uses a class-tested learning approach and accessible two-color page design to guide students from basic programming to the skills needed for future coursework and engineering practice.

MatLab, Third Edition is the only book that gives a full introduction to programming in MATLAB combined with an explanation of the software's powerful functions, enabling engineers to fully exploit its extensive capabilities in solving engineering problems. The book provides a systematic, step-by-step approach, building on concepts throughout the text, facilitating easier learning. Sections on common pitfalls and programming guidelines direct students towards best practice. The book is organized into 14 chapters, starting 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. Vectorized Code has been made into its own chapter, in order to emphasize the importance of using MATLAB efficiently. There are also expanded examples on low-level file input functions, Graphical User Interfaces, and use of MATLAB Version R2012b; modified and new end-of-chapter exercises; improved labeling of plots; and improved standards for variable names and documentation. This book will be a valuable resource for engineers learning to program and model in MATLAB, as well as for undergraduates in engineering and science taking a course that uses (or recommends) MATLAB. - Presents programming concepts and MATLAB built-in functions side-by-side - 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

A handbook for MATLAB which gives a focused approach to the software for students and professional researchers.

Emphasising problem-solving throughout, this title introduces the MATLAB language and shows how to use it to solve typical technical problems. It demonstrates how to write clean, efficient, and well-documented programs and how to locate any desired function with MATLAB's online help facilities.

The first MATLAB® programming book written specifically for clinical radiotherapy medical physicists and medical physics trainees, this much-needed book teaches users how to create their own clinical applications using MATLAB®, as a complement to commercial software particularly when the latter does not cover specific local clinical needs. Chapters explore key radiotherapy areas such as handling volumes, 3D dose calculation, comparing dose distributions, reconstructing treatment plans and their summations, and automated tests for machine quality assurance. Readers will learn to independently analyse and process images, doses, structures, and other radiotherapy clinical data to deal with standard and non-standard situations in radiotherapy. This book will also significantly improve understanding of areas such as data nature, information content, DICOM RT standard, and data flow. It will be an invaluable reference for students of medical physics, in addition to clinical radiotherapy physicists and researchers working in radiotherapy. Features: Includes real clinical medical physics applications derived from actual clinical problems Provides commented MATLAB® scripts working with sample data and/or own data matching input requirements Promotes critical thinking and practical problem solving skills
