MATLAB can be used to execute many mathematical and engineering
calculations, as well as a handheld computer can if not better.
Moreover, like many other computer languages, it can perform tasks
that a handheld computer cannot. Compared to other computer
languages, MATLAB provides many built-in functions that make
learning easier and reduce prototyping time. Simulink is a toolbox
that extends the possibilities of MATLAB by providing a graphical
interface for modeling and simulating dynamical processes. Using
examples from mathematics, mechanical and electrical engineering,
and control and signal processing, What Every Engineer Should Know
About MATLAB and Simulink provides an introduction to these two
computer environments and examines the advantages and limitations
of MATLAB. It first explores the benefits of how to use MATLAB to
solve problems and then process and present calculations and
experimental results. This book also briefly introduces the reader
to more advanced features of the software, such as object-oriented
programming (OOP), and it draws the attention to some specialized
toolboxes. Key features of the book include demonstrations of how
to: Visualize the results of calculations in various kinds of
graphical representations Write useful script files and functions
for solving specific problems Avoid disastrous computational errors
Convert calculations into technical reports and insert calculations
and graphs into either MS Word or LaTeX This book illustrates the
limitations of the computer, as well as the implications associated
with errors that can result from approximations or numerical
errors. Using selected examples of computer-aided errors, the
author explains that the set of computer numbers is discrete and
bounded a feature that can cause catastrophic errors

bounded-a feature that can cause catastrophic errors if not
properly taken into account. In conjunction with The
Mathworks-marketers of MATLAB and Simulink-a supplementary website
is presented to offer access to software implemented in the book
and the script files used to produce the figures. This book was
written by Adrian B. Biran of Technion -- Israel Institute of
Technology, with contributions by Moshe Breiner, managing director
of SimACon.
Geometry for Naval Architects is the essential guide to the
principles of naval geometry. Formerly fragmented throughout
various sources, the topic is now presented in this comprehensive
book that explains the history and specific applications of modern
naval architecture mathematics and techniques, including numerous
examples, applications and references to further enhance
understanding. With a natural four-section organization
(Traditional Methods, Differential Geometry, Computer Methods, and
Applications in Naval Architecture), users will quickly progress
from basic fundamentals to specific applications. Careful
instruction and a wealth of practical applications spare readers
the extensive searches once necessary to understand the
mathematical background of naval architecture and help them
understand the meanings and uses of discipline-specific computer
programs.
