Perfect for use in a lab or by individuals, PROGRAMMING IN MATLAB is designed to help anyone interested in electrical and computer engineering develop programming skills using MATLAB as the programming language. The text is also applicable for those interested in utilizing MATLAB in industry. MATLAB is quickly surpassing C, BASIC, and Fortran in engineering departments as the programming language of choice (due to the many functions and toolboxes the program features). It allows the many students who use it to write complex programs to solve a variety of technical problems efficiently. Herniter offers a straightforward approach to learning the program, and assumes no prior exposure to MATLAB. The book offers comprehensive instructions for programming in MATLAB, including specific output results and numerous MATLAB screen captures. Its use is ideal in a lab/lecture setting where readers can recreate examples and complete problem assignments. However, the text organization is also appropriate for use as a general reference guide for programming MATLAB. Herniter introduces fundamental programming skills, then moves into solving basic problems using built-in MATLAB functions, and finally into solving engineering problems using MATLAB.

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

MATLAB Programming for Biomedical Engineers and Scientists, Second Edition provides an easy-to-learn introduction to the fundamentals of computer programming in MATLAB. The book explains the principles of good programming practice, while also demonstrating how to write efficient and robust code that analyzes and visualizes biomedical data. Aimed at the biomedical engineering student, biomedical scientist and medical researcher with little or no computer programming experience, this is an excellent resource for learning the principles and practice of computer programming using MATLAB. The book enables the reader to analyze problems and apply structured design methods to produce elegant, efficient and well-structured program designs, implement a structured program design in MATLAB, write code that makes good use of MATLAB programming features, including control structures, functions and advanced data types, and much more. - Presents many real-world biomedical problems and data, showing the practical application of programming concepts - Contains two whole chapters dedicated to the practicalities of designing and implementing more complex programs - Provides an accompanying website with freely available data and source code for the practical code examples, activities and exercises in the book - Includes new chapters on machine learning, engineering mathematics, and expanded coverage of data types

This book is intended for anyone trying to learn the fundamentals of computer programming. The chapters lead the reader through the various steps required for writing a program, introducing the MATLABr® constructs in the process. MATLABr® is used to teach programming because it has a simple programming environment. It has a low initial overhead which allows the novice programmer to begin programming immediately and allows the users to easily debug their programs. This is especially useful for people who have a “mental block” about computers. Although MATLABr® is a high-level language and interactive environment that enables the user to perform computationally intensive tasks faster than with traditional programming languages such as C, C++, and Fortran, the author shows that it can also be used as a programming learning tool for novices. There are a number of exercises at the end of each chapter which should help users become comfortable with the language.

Assuming no prior background in linear algebra or real analysis, An Introduction to MATLAB® Programming and Numerical Methods for Engineers enables you to develop good computational problem solving techniques through the use of numerical methods and the MATLAB® programming environment. Part One introduces fundamental programming concepts, using simple examples to put new concepts quickly into practice. Part Two covers the fundamentals of algorithms and numerical analysis at a level allowing you to quickly apply results in practical settings. - Tips, warnings, and "try this" features within each chapter help the reader develop good programming practices - Chapter summaries, key terms, and functions and operators lists at the end of each chapter allow for quick access to important information - At least three different types of end of chapter exercises — thinking, writing, and coding — let you assess your understanding and practice what you've learned
