MATLAB Books

This text is used in a mathematical software course at VMI that provides an introduction to Matlab and Mathcad. However, Troy Siemers also intends it to be a course book instead of an all inclusive resource. He encourages his students to take full advantage of the built-in help capabilities of these software packages, additional texts (he keeps a f

This book presents computer programming as a key method for solving mathematical problems. There are two versions of the book, one for MATLAB and one for Python. The book was inspired by the Springer book TCSE 6: A Primer on Scientific Programming with Python (by Langtangen), but the style is more accessible and concise, in keeping with the needs o

This open access book presents a comprehensive guide to MATLAB programming, catering to students, engineers, and researchers seeking to harness MATLAB as a powerful tool for their work. The text meticulously covers fundamental concepts, progressing from basic elements such as types and operators to more complex structures like arrays and matrices.

If one is reading this, they are likely interested in solving science and engineering problems. They are also likely taking a course that requires them to learn MATLAB. They might ask themselves why they should learn to code, reasoning that if they had wanted to major in computers, they would have. The most obvious reason is that there are almost n

Hands-On Accelerator Physics Using MATLAB, 2nd Edition, provides a broad introduction into the physics and the technology of particle accelerators from synchrotron light sources to high-energy colliders. It covers the design of beam optics, magnets, and radio-frequency systems, followed by a discussion of beam instrumentation and correction algorit

This practical guide bridges the core concepts of Digital Signal Processing (DSP) and modern digital communications. It focuses on the implementation of these principles using open-source tools like Python, Octave, and GNU Radio, alongside low-cost hardware platforms (USRP, DVB-T dongles, HackRF). The book takes a hands-on, code-first approach to b

This book originated from lecture notes developed by the lead author for a course in applied numerical methods, initially designed for Civil Engineering majors, and later expanded to include Mechanical Engineering. The primary objectives of the text are to introduce the fundamental concepts of numerical methods and to provide a thorough, integrated

This guide introduces GNU Octave, a powerful, open-source software environment for scientific computing and numerical problem-solving. Through practical applications in linear algebra and calculus, readers will learn to leverage Octave's computational capabilities while strengthening their mathematical understanding. The text demonstrates Octave's

Modeling and simulation are powerful tools for explaining the world, making predictions, designing things that work, and making them work better. Learning to use these tools can be difficult; this book is my attempt to make the experience as enjoyable and productive as possible. By reading this book - and working on the exercises - you will learn s

This book is a discussion of the calculation of specific formulas in finance. The field of finance has seen a rapid development in recent years, with increasing mathematical sophistication. While the formalization of the field can be traced back to the work of Markowitz (1952) on investors mean-variance decisions and Modigliani and Miller (1958) on
