Engineering Computation with MATLAB - Tapa blanda

Engineering Computation with MATLAB (R) introduces the power of computing to engineering students with no previous programming experience. By spending time on meaningful engineering examples, professor and trained engineer David Smith places the fundamental tenets of computer programming into the context of MATLAB, a user-friendly language for engineers. Engineering Computation with MATLAB (R) employs hands-on exercises, examples from the world of engineering, and a variety core tools to increase general proficiency and capability in computer programming, preparing engineering students to fluidly adapt learned programming concepts to other languages.

David Smith has been teaching introductory computer science classes for engineers at the Georgia Institute of Technology since 1997 when he retired from industry. Previously, he worked 31 years for Lockheed-Martin at their Marietta, Georgia, facility as a systems and software specialist with a focus on intelligent systems. He was active in designing and developing software for the C-130J, C-27J, F-22 and C-5 aircraft, and was the technical leader of the Pilot's Associate program, a $42 million research project sponsored by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. He has a bachelor's degree in aeronautical engineering from Southampton University, and a master's degree in control systems from Imperial College, London.
