MATLAB: A Practical Introduction to Programming and Problem Solving, winner of TAA’s 2017 Textbook Excellence Award ("Texty"), guides the reader through both programming and built-in functions to easily exploit MATLAB’s extensive capabilities for tackling engineering and scientific problems. Assuming no knowledge of programming, this book starts with programming concepts, such as variables, assignments, and selection statements, moves on to loops, and then solves problems using both the programming concept and the power of MATLAB. The sixth edition has been updated to reflect the functionality of the current version of MATLAB (R2021a), including the introduction of machine learning concepts and the Machine Learning Toolbox, and new sections on data formats and data scrubbing.
