The textbook is intended for teaching MATLAB language and its applications. The book is composed of three parts: MATLAB programming, scientific computing with MATLAB, and system simulation with Simulink. Since MATLAB is widely used in all fields of science and engineering, a good introduction to the language can not only help students learn how to use it to solve practical problems, but also provide them with the skills to use MATLAB independently in their later courses and research. The three parts of the book are well-balanced and tailored to the needs of engineering students, and the mathematical problems commonly encountered in engineering can be easily solved using MATLAB. This textbook is suitable for undergraduate and graduate students majoring in science and engineering.

About the Author

Xue Dingyu received his doctorate from Sussex University, UK, in 1992 and took his post at Northeastern University in China in 1993, where he was promoted to the full professorship in 1997. He started his teaching work on MATLAB since 1990, where he designed a Lab Demonstration GUI for Classroom in Sussex University, while he was doing his D.Phil. research. In 1996, he published his first MATLAB book in Chinese, entitled "Computer aided Control System Design with MATLAB Applications" by Tsinghua University Press in China, which was regarded as the first in China, and one of the earliest in the world. In more than 30 years of time, he published 12 books in English plus numerous books in Chinese. The recent ones are the six-volume works on scientific computing and simulation, published in De Gruyter, Berlin, in 2020-2022. He received many teaching honors and awards in China, for his national-level excellent courses, textbooks, first-class undergraduate courses, and national-level educational awards.

Pan Feng is an associate professor at Northeastern University, Shenyang, China. He is the director of China Simulation Federation and the secretary-general of Liaoning Association for Artificial Intelligence. He has devoted himself to the teaching reform and construction for many years. As the main member, he has won more than ten important teaching awards, such as the second prize of National Teaching Achievement, the first prize of Liaoning Provincial Teaching Achievement, and the first prize of Higher Education Teaching Achievement of Chinese Association of Automation. He has undertaken five provincial and ministerial teaching research and reform projects. He teaches one national excellent course and one of the first national first-class undergraduate courses. He has published more than 10 teaching reform papers in teaching journals and conferences.
