Author: Roland Priemer
Publisher: SciTech Publishing (an imprint of IET)
Publication Year: 2013
Pages: ~660+ pages (paperback)
ISBN-13: 978-1-61353-188-4 / ISBN-10: 1-61353-188-5
📖 Overview & Purpose
This textbook is designed to teach MATLAB programming specifically tailored to electrical and computer engineering (ECE) students and professionals. Unlike general MATLAB books, it weaves ECE fundamentals into the learning of MATLAB, showing how MATLAB and Simulink can be applied directly to practical problems in engineering.
Target audience:
Freshman/sophomore ECE students with little to no programming background
ECE majors needing MATLAB for coursework
Junior/senior students or professionals looking to learn or refresh MATLAB in the context of ECE
Engineers who want practical examples linked to real engineering concepts
🧠Key Features
✅ ECE-focused MATLAB learning — basic to advanced MATLAB concepts are tied with electrical and computer engineering examples.
✅ Simulink coverage — includes introduction to using Simulink for dynamic systems modeling.
✅ Extensive examples and problems — hundreds of in-depth examples and exercises throughout.
✅ Develops fundamentals gradually — about 15% of the content develops core ECE principles within a MATLAB context.
📑 Typical Content/Structure
(The book is detailed and comprehensive — here are major chapter themes):
MATLAB Environment — Desktop, variables, functions, help tools
Programming Concepts — flow control, functions, code development
Matrices & Linear Algebra — matrix operations and applications in circuits
Control Structures & Numerical Methods — loops, conditionals, numerical integration
Data Types — binary, character arrays, structures
I/O & File Handling — input/output, sound, file management
Graphics & Plotting — 2D/3D plots and GUIs
Debugging Techniques
Symbolic Math Applications
Signals & Systems — Fourier analysis, LTI systems
Introduction to Simulink — environment, dynamic system modeling, custom blocks
