A Getting Started chapter for configuring MATLAB for use with the tutorials.Step-by-step tutorials written to help the novice user become proficient using MATLAB.We believe that you'll enjoy both gaining and having that knowledge, and that you'll be able to use it almost immediately with your other coursework. Once you've completed An Engineer's Introduction to Programming with MATLAB 2019, you will have a solid foundation in computer programming forms and concepts and a comfort with the MATLAB environment and programming language. As the complexity of the concepts increases, the exercises present increasingly real-world engineering challenges to match. We'll ask you to perform short exercises as we work through each chapter, followed by more end-to-end exercises and mental challenges at the chapter's end. Each chapter builds on the last, presenting an in-depth tutorial on a focused concept central to programming, using the MATLAB language, but applicable to countless other popular and in-demand languages such as C++, Java, JavaScript, R, and Python. Using an approachable tone, we take you from the simplest variables through complex examples of data visualization and curve fitting. Unlike many MATLAB books, ours assumes no prior experience in computer programming. With dozens of specialized toolboxes available beyond the core program, as well as its companion program Simulink for simulation and model-based design, MATLAB can serve as an invaluable aid throughout your career. MATLAB has been in existence for more than 30 years and is used by millions of engineers, scientists, and students worldwide, both for its depth and its easy usability. This book accomplishes two things simultaneously: it teaches you to use the latest version of the powerful MATLAB programming environment, and it teaches you core, transferable programming skills that will make you feel at home with most procedural programming languages.
