About this book :-
"An Introduction to Matlab and Mathcad" by "Troy Siemers" is a beginner-friendly textbook designed to teach students how to use "MATLAB" and "Mathcad" for "computational problem solving". Ideal for undergraduate students or anyone new to these software tools, the book introduces fundamental concepts without requiring prior programming experience. It focuses on real-world applications, helping learners see how computational software can be applied in science, engineering, and mathematics contexts. The text covers essential topics in "MATLAB", including "matrices", functions, graphics, user-defined routines, input/output, and curve fitting. At the same time, it introduces Mathcad basics such as equation entry, matrix operations, graphing, calculus, and symbolic computation. Step-by-step examples, exercises, and screenshots guide students through tasks, reinforcing understanding and building confidence. The book emphasizes hands-on learning, encouraging readers to apply concepts to practical problems rather than just theoretical exercises. Designed for classroom use and self-study, "An Introduction to Matlab and Mathcad" develops both programming proficiency and problem-solving abilities. Its balanced approach ensures students can master core "computational skills", interpret results, and tackle complex mathematical and engineering challenges. With clear explanations and practical examples, Troy Siemers provides a comprehensive guide for anyone seeking to integrate software tools into their learning or professional workflow.
