Teach students MATLAB from the beginning

· UPDATED For MATLAB® 2016 release

o UPDATED! Screenshots shown in the book now reflect the 2016 release.

o UPDATED! The use of subfunctions in MATLAB programs recognizes that functions no longer need to be stored in separate files.

o NEW! Functionality and behavior associated with the 2014 graphics update is included.

o NEW! Data types, such as table, datetime and strings are introduced.

· The material is grouped into three sections:

o An Introduction to Basic MATLAB Skills

o Programming in MATLAB

o Advanced MATLAB Concepts

§ Includes chapters that will help students as they become more involved in solving engineering problems. They do not depend on each other and therefore do not have to be taught sequentially.

· Starts with basic algebra and shows how MATLAB can be used to solve engineering problems from a wide range of disciplines.

o Examples are drawn from concepts introduced in early chemistry and physics classes and freshman and sophomore engineering classes.

o UPDATED! Coverage of symbolic algebra functionality has been updated significantly.

· A standard problem-solving methodology is used consistently.

· NEW! Live Scripts have been added.

· The text assumes that the student has a basic understanding of college algebra and has been introduced to trigonometric concepts.

· A brief background is included when MATLAB techniques related to statistics or matrix algebra are introduced.

· Sections describing MATLAB techniques for solving problems by means of calculus and differential equations are introduced near the end of appropriate chapters.

Designed to be “hands on”

· Numerous examples are embedded in the text

o More complicated numbered examples included in each chapter to reinforce the concepts introduced.

· Practice exercises are included in each chapter to give students an immediate opportunity to use their new skills.

o NEW! Additional problems were added and some problems were modified based on feedback from both instructors and students. Historic data used in the problems has been updated to current values.

· NEW! A number of new functions were introduced throughout the book related to new data types introduced in 2016.

· The Instructor’s Resource Center includes the following material:

o M-files and Live Scripts containing solutions to practice exercises

o M-files containing solutions to example problems

o M-files and Live Scripts containing solutions to homework problems

o PowerPoint slides for each chapter

o All of the figures used in the text, suitable for inclusion in your own PowerPoint presentations

o Appendix E Solutions to Practice Exercises can be found at the following website: www.pearsonglobaleditions.com/moore
