Engineers around the world depend on MATLAB for its power, usability, and outstanding graphics capabilities. Yet too often, engineering students are either left on their own to acquire the background they need to use MATLAB, or they must learn the program concurrently within an advanced course. Both of these options delay students from solving realistic design problems, especially when they do not... Read more

"…Manassah got it just right: his book lays out standard topics for a one-semester course. He presents enough of the mathematics to motivate a method, explains how to use MATLAB, and then assigns typical problems as exercises."
