The book "MATLAB as a programming system of engineering and technical calculations" by Kondrashov V. E. and Queen C. B. represents a unique and deep resource for anyone interested in applying MATLAB in engineering practice. This edition will be an indispensable assistant for both students just starting out in the world of programming and engineering, and for experienced professionals who want to expand their knowledge and skills in the field of numerical calculations and modeling. From the first pages, the authors immerse the reader in the fascinating world of MATLAB, demonstrating how this powerful system can be used to solve complex engineering problems. The book covers a wide range of topics ranging from basic programming to more complex concepts such as signal and image processing, optimization, and dynamic systems modeling. Each section is written with clarity and accessibility, which allows the reader to easily digest the material and apply it in practice. For whom is this book intended? First of all, it will be of interest to students of technical specialties, graduate students and young professionals seeking to master MATLAB as a tool for performing engineering calculations . However, we should not forget about more experienced engineers and researchers who are looking for new approaches to solving their problems. The book will also be useful to teachers who want to introduce modern methods of teaching programming in their courses. The topics raised in the book cover many aspects of engineering thinking. The authors emphasize the importance of numerical methods, algorithms and mathematical modeling, which makes the material especially relevant in light of current trends in engineering and science. The reader will be able to learn how to effectively use MATLAB to analyze data, visualize results and develop their own algorithms. This knowledge will certainly come in handy in any engineering discipline, be it mechanics, electrical engineering, or even biomedical engineering. The style of the authors is distinguished by clarity and logical presentation, which makes even the most complex topics accessible to understanding. Kondrashov and Korolev use many examples and tasks, which allows the reader not only to theoretically master the material, but also to apply it in practice. This makes the book not just a textbook, but a real practical guide that you can keep at hand while working on projects. In addition, the authors share their experience and advice, which makes reading not only useful, but also fascinating. They emphasize how important it is not only to know the theory, but also to be able to apply it in real conditions. This approach makes the book especially valuable for those who want not only to learn, but also to develop in their professional activities. If you are looking for a book that will help you master MATLAB and learn how to use it in engineering calculations, MATLAB as an engineering calculations programming system will be an excellent choice. This edition will not only expand your knowledge, but also inspire new achievements in your professional career. Read, experiment and discover new horizons in the world of engineering with this wonderful book!
