This book presents an introduction to Matlab for students and professionals working in the field of engineering and other scientific and technical sectors, who have an interest or need to apply Matlab as a tool for undertaking simulations and formulating solutions for the problems concerned.The presentation is highly accessible, employing a step-by-step approach in discussing selected problems: deduction of the mathematical model from the physical phenomenon, followed by analysis of the solutions with Matlab. Since a physical phenomenon takes place in space and time, the corresponding mathematical model involves partial differential equations. For this reason, the book is dedicated to numerically solving these equations with the Finite Element Method and Finite Difference Method. Throughout, the text presents numerous examples and exercises with detailed worked solutions. Matlab for Engineering is a useful desktop reference for undergraduates and scientists alike in real world problem solving.Related Link(s)Press Release — A One-Stop Guide to Using Matlab to Problem-Solve;
