Product Description
MATLAB for Engineers, 2e is ideal for Freshman or Introductory courses in Engineering and Computer Science. 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 freshman/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.

I reviewed a number of books before choosing a text for an introductory class on computational techniques for sophomore engineers. I chose this book because it struck a great compromise between the "Introduction to MATLAB" materials and the MATLAB functionality engineers really use (especially chapters 11 and 12).
The examples are thorough and plentiful. Student engineers and anyone new to MATLAB would do well to get this book.
Best MATLAB book so far February 29, 2008

I have just started learning MATLAB and this is the best book I have found so far. The book is full of examples, well structured and can be used as a reference as well as a textbook. Numerous facets of MATLAB are covered including but not limited to linear algebra, flow analysis, symbolic derivatives and integration, and solving systems of equations both numerically and symbolically. This book was written to be used in a classroom environment but I had no trouble getting through it on my own. I would venture to say that it goes way beyond an introduction into intermediate practical uses for MATLAB. If you only get one book on MATLAB, this is it!
An excellent text March 29, 2010

I used this book to teach an introductory engineering programming course. I'd say the biggest strengths of this text are the "non-computer-science-y" way that the material is discussed, and the excellent homework problems. They provide a way for me to reintroduce topics that students are supposed to know "on the sly." The problems are realistic. The tone is sufficiently casual, and doesn't assume any prior knowledge of the material. The only thing it's missing is an Appendix to cover some of the math that students may have missed like polar coordinates, some details on matrices, and a quick review of complex numbers and graphing them. I'm really happy with this book, and the students haven't complained overmuch about it, which is unusual for any engineering textbook.
dude this book helps April 6, 2008

This book came at a time when I really needed it. It helped myself and my group mates get a senior project done on time with a decent grade. It had all that we needed in it about matlab and then some. I'm glad to add this to my library of books that I'm going to be using for my carreer. I would highly recomend this book.
Excellent Introduction January 19, 2010
John Humble (Washington D.C.)
I consider this book a great introduction text into programming in MATLAB. It provided me with quite a lot of tools/tips that make my life easier, and the exposition is done in quite a clear manner. Recommended.
