Abstract:
"Author Craig Lent's 1st edition of Learning to Program with MATLAB: Building GUI Tools teaches the core concepts of computer programming, such as arrays, loops, function, basic data structures, etc., using MATLAB. The text has a focus on the fundamentals of programming and builds up to an emphasis on GUI tools, covering text-based programs first, then programs that produce graphics. This creates a visual expression of the underlying mathematics of a problem or design. Brief and to-the-point, the text includes material that can be converted with supplementary reference material designed to entice users to retain their copy"-- Provided by publisher

Summary

Summary

The text is for instructors who want to use MATLAB to teach introductory programming concepts. Since many students struggle with applying the concepts that underlie good programming practice, Learning to Program with MATLAB: Building GUI Tools was designed upon the observation that student learning is enhanced if the students themselves build the GUI (graphical user interface) tool, construct the computational model, implement the visualization of results, and design the GUI. This text teaches the core concepts of computer programming--arrays, loops, functions, and basic data structures--using MATLAB. The chapter sequence covers text-based programs, then programs that produce graphics, building up to an emphasis on GUI tools. This progression unleashes the real power of MATLAB--creating visual expressions of the underlying mathematics of a problem or design.
