For introductory engineering courses. Prentice Hall's innovative publishing program for introductory engineering introduces students to the MATLAB 4.0 for Windows interface, teaching them to solve and graph mathematical problems and create and use MATLAB programs (m-files). Consisting of modules that cover engineering skills and concepts, programming languages and software tools, The Engineer's Toolkit is a flexible solution for keeping up with the evolving curriculum of first-year engineering.




Covers such topics as file management, matrix operations, control flow, and linear problems.
Every module is written specifically for this unique introductory program.

• Students benefit from a consistency in level, terminology, and pedagogy.

A five-step problem-solving process.

• Problem-solving is a key skill for introductory Engineering.

Numerous exercises and problems—Including “What If” and “Try It” features.

• Lets students immediately practice concepts they've studied. A complete supplement package— Includes electronic solutions, teaching strategies, transparencies, transparency masters, and data files.
• Helps professors prepare for class.
  
  

(NOTE: Each chapter ends with a Summary, Key Words, Matlab Special Characters, Matlab Commands, Matlab Variables and Constants, Matlab Functions, and Problems sections.)
