Product Description
This is a simple, concise book designed to be useful for beginners and to be kept as a reference. MATLAB is presently a globally available standard computational tool for engineers and scientists. The terminology, syntax, and the use of the programming language are well defined and the organization of the material makes it easy to locate information and navigate through the textbook. The text covers all the major capabilities of MATLAB that are useful for beginning students. An instructor’s manual and other web resources are available.

 Highly recommended! May 8, 2008
Peter Kattan (New York, USA)
This is an introductory book on MATLAB for engineers. There is a section on problem solving in Chapter 1. This is followed in Chapter 2 and 3 by matrix operations, and files, functions, and data structures. Programming, plotting, and model building are discussed in Chapters 4 and 5. Solving linear algebraic equations is presented in Chapter 6. This is followed in Chapter 7 by statistical functions and interpolaton. Chapter 8 teaches calculus and differential equations. Finally, computer algebra with the symbolic math toolbox is discussed in Chapter 9. The examples presented are diverse from various branches of engineering. However, if you are just beginning to learn MATLAB, check the book "MATLAB for Beginners: A Gentle Approach."
 brief discourses on various maths methods October 3, 2006

Palm demonstrates the simple versatility of Matlab. Many examples are given that are likely to be encountered by an undergrad engineering student. Matrix methods might be the most useful, given the prevalence of linear systems that you often have to solve.
Matlab can also be used for symbolic algebra. Here the usage may be a bit more specialised. While this can be neat to use, chances are that most engineers will rarely have to use this ability, relative to number crunching.
The book only briefly covers Matlab's probability and statistics functions. It covers the bell curve [normal distribution]. But doesn't really go into anything advanced. Still, remember the book is only meant as an introduction.
Really good book! February 18, 2006

The content is very effectively edited and presented. The material covers all one needs to know in order to solve various problems and exploit several powerful features of MATLAB. Very good introductory text.
MatLab 7 for Engineers September 25, 2007
Larry H. Harris
Almost completely the same as MatLab6 for Engineers no need to buy the new book if you have the previous edition. But does a good job of covering the scope of MatLab.
 Not very good for coding October 20, 2005

Although this book has a lot of pertinent information to engineers, I bought it with the intent of learning the fundamentals of coding in MATLAB. I have a class in which our teacher assigns problems in MATLAB, but none of the students have experience in MATLAB. I bought the book to help me figure out how to write codes and it doesn't do that too well, but I could see how it might work well for someone familiar with MATLAB who needs to use it for an engineering problems.
