Introduction to MATLAB for Engineering Students – Level I

This book is a practical entry-level guide tailored for engineering students with no prior exposure to MATLAB. The book adopts an interactive, example-driven approach that helps students grasp essential concepts in technical computing. It walks readers through foundational topics including the MATLAB environment, variable definition, arithmetic operations, matrix creation, basic plotting techniques, and methods for solving linear equations. Structured as a sequence of lab-style sessions, the content encourages active learning, with each chapter concluding in problem-solving exercises designed to reinforce key concepts. Rather than serving as a comprehensive reference, this book aims to equip students with the essential tools required to approach engineering tasks with confidence. Its clarity, structure, and applied focus make it a valuable resource for both independent learners and classroom instruction in early-stage engineering education.
