Focusing on MATLAB as a technical programming language, this book introduces students to its practical functions that simplify problem-solving compared to other languages. It covers fundamental procedural programming concepts and emphasizes the development of good design habits applicable in various programming contexts. Through programming topics and examples, readers explore MATLAB's highly optimized application functions, enhancing their understanding and skills in both MATLAB and general programming practices.
The first text of its kind, Stephen Chapman's best selling book on MATLAB has now been updated to reflect MATLAB 6.0. The first edition has been highly successful in engineering schools where introductory programming is taught using MATLAB rather than a traditional programming language. Although C, C++, and Java suit the needs of computer science students well, most engineering students will not be programmers by trade. Engineering students use computer tools to perform complex tasks such as scientific calculations, data analysis, simulations, and visualization: all skills students will use again in upper level classes. MATLAB provides several built in toolkits to help students accomplish these tasks, as well as an integrated devlopment environment. This book is distinctly unique from other MATLAB books in two ways. First, it is an introduction to MATLAB as a technical programming language rather than an introduction to the MATLAB environment. The author includes numerous pedagogical tools such as special boxes that highlight good programming practices, boxes that detail common pitfalls in MATLAB programming, and numerous programming exercises and examples. The book also makes wide use of MATLAB's predefined functions that provide tested solutions and time saved in writing subroutines or functions. Second, the book teaches students how to write clean, efficient, and documented programs using sound problem solving techniques. Top-down programming methodology is introduced to the students in Ch. 3 and is used consistently thoughout the rest of the book. This encourages students to think about the proper design of a program before beginning to code.
Kniha vás provede od základních prvků jazyka (opakovací struktury, pole, řetězce), přes objektové programování (metody, třídy) až po tvorbu grafiky a uživatelského rozhraní. Osvojíte si nezbytné činnosti, jako je překlad programů, navázání knihoven atd. Pedagogicky důsledný autor ve vás pěstuje každým příkladem správné javové programovací návyky, s nimiž budete vytvářet čitelný a snadno udržovatelný kód, použitelný v dnes převládajících týmových projektech. Upozorňuje na obvyklé chyby, ukazuje, jak vytvářet opakovaně použitelné objekty a jak testovat vytvořené programy s různými sadami dat.
