12/1/2023 0 Comments Matlab for engineers ebookIt is more like matlab manual instead of a textbook for teaching engineering students how to use MATLAB The title is engineering computation with MATLAB but the examples are not related to engineering problem at all. The content is not comprehensive as well. The Matlab examples are too simple for engineering purpose. Reviewed by Fanglin Che, Assistant Professor, University of Massachusetts Lowell on 6/30/20 It is solely based on engineering programming knowledge and does not involve cultural issues All of the texts are in the same color, and it can be really hard to tell which part is the text which part is script sometimes Because there are so many scripts, the alignment of each page is not very neat. I have to remember the page number, manually type the page number, and then get to the chapter I want. for the version I get, I cannot click things on the table of content and jump to a certain section. I think the interface needs to be improved in general. The book covers topics in a logical fashion, and each chapter contains text, example, problem, and solution in a consistent and clear manner However, visually, it is hard to tell apart from each section as they are all in the same color with a similar font size. The author organized it into chapters/subchapters with different reading sections (text, example, problem, solution). This book might look like a book version "MATLAB help center", but it does a very good job explaining each parts (which you cannot always get from MATLAB help center) The code in the textbook is unlikely to change (as these are the frequently used essential ones), but the interface is different, that readers using the most recent version MATLAB might not be able to find the same icon at the same place. From the images in the textbook, it looks like the author is using a relatively old version MATLAB for demonstration. It is a quick guideline for someone who never used MATLAB before, and have all the essential parts of MATLAB that engineering students should expect to use frequently It is more like one out of many books for a course like "intro to engineering" "capstone design" which might require some MATLAB skills. This is not a textbook that can be used alone for a course like "numerical analysis".
