Key Feature Uses Matlab To Illustrate Concepts In Working Examples. Provides Examples That Range From Text Processing To The Synthesis Of False-Color Images To Building User Interfaces. Contains Short Projects Of An Open-Ended Nature In The Later Chapters. Integrating The Various Kinds Of Skills Needed For Scientific Computation, The Self-Contained Projects Introduce Diverse Areas Of Science And Technology But Require No Previous Exposure To An Area. Covers The Basic Material On Programming In Chapters 1 Through 9. Gives The Necessary Background And Provides An Introduction To Simple But Useful Graphical Interfaces In Chapters 10 And 11. Introduces Numerical Methods Using One Dimension In Chapter 16 And Extends The Concepts And Methods To Multiple Dimensions In Chapter 17. Table Of Contents What Is Computation? Invoking A Computation Simple Types: Numbers, Text, Booleans Numbers And Precision Collections And Indexing Files And Scripts Functions Conditionals Loops Scope Events Arranging Data: Searching And Databases Trees And Recursion Sounds And Signals Images Mathematical Relationships With One Unknown Mathematical Relationships With Two Or More Unknowns From Equality To Similarity: Randomness And Variation Appendices
