| Summary: | Matlab® can be used to execute many mathematical and engineering calculations as well as a handheld computer can--if not better. Moreover, like many other computer languages, it can perform tasks that a handheld computer cannot. Compared to other computer languages, Matalb provides many built-in functions that make learning easier and reduce prototyping time. Simulink® is a toolbox that extends the possibilities of Matlab by providing a graphical interface for modeling and simulating dynamical processes. Using examples from mathematics, mechanical and electrical engineering, and control and signal processing, What Every Engineer Should Know About Matlab® and Simulink® provides an introduction to these two computer environments and examines the advantages and limitations of Matlab. It first explores the benefits of how to use Matlab to solve problems and then process and present calculations and experimental results. This book also briefly introduces the reader to more advanced features of the software, such as object-oriented programming (OOP), and it draws attention to some specialized toolboxes. This book illustrates the limitations of the computer, as well as the implications associated with errors that can result from approximations or numerical errors. Using selected examples of computer-aided errors, the author explains that the set of computer numbers is discrete and bounded--a feature that can cause catastrophic errors if not properly taken into account. In conjunction with The Mathworks--marketers of Matlab and Simulink--a supplementary Web site is presented to offer access to software implemented in the book and the script files used to produce the figures. --Book Jacket. |
