Engineering Computation: an Introduction Using Matlab and Excel

The strength of Engineering Computation is its combination of the two most important computational programs in the engineering marketplace today, MATLAB® and Excel®. Engineering students will need to know how to use both programs to solve problems.

While it is important to teach the mechanics of using the relevant tools, those tools can change so the focus of this text is on the fundamentals of engineering computing: algorithm development, selection of appropriate tools, documentation of solutions, and verification and interpretation of results.
