Welcome to our computer book reviews. These days personal computer software often doesn't come with any instruction book. They leave you with a CD-ROM and a prayer. So its great to be able to buy a computer book that helps teach you how to use your software. We've been using personal computers since 1979, and writing computer book reviews since 1981, so we've seen computer books come a long way. Where they used to be aimed strictly at the computer programmers, today's computer books are aimed squarely at Joe and Jane Consumer. We hope you'll come back here every month. We'll always try to bring you contemporary, informative and interesting reviews of computer books.

Introduction to MATLAB & SIMULINK A Project Approach, 3rd Editio This is an introduction to the MATLAB, the widely-used mathematical and programing environment from Mathworks, and SIMULINK the dynamic systems modeling environment. Written primarily for engineering students, the book gives you a fundamental knowledge of how to use these sophisticated mathematical modeling environments. The CD-ROM contains the source code for all of the exercises. Engineering is not my area, so I offer the following from the publisher: "This book provides the optimal introduction to MATLAB and Simulink, the primary tools in engineering, science, and industry for simulating dynamic systems. Using the latest versions of the software, the book also has 20 hands-on projects that provide a practical mastery of the subject areas including the code and executable files. Apart from a basic knowledge of mathematics and physics, no further specialist knowledge is necessary. There are also over 80, in-text, exercises where readers themselves can check their mastery of the material." |
