Physical Modeling in MATLAB
by Allen Downey
Publisher: Green Tea Press 2014
ISBN/ASIN: 0615185509
ISBN-13: 9780615185507
Number of pages: 155
Description:
An introductory textbook for people who have not programmed before. Covers basic MATLAB programming with emphasis on modeling and simulation of physical systems. The book starts with scalar values and works up to vectors and matrices very gradually. This approach is good for beginning programmers, because it is hard to understand composite objects until you understand basic programming semantics.
