Understand what your code is calculating

A useful engineering function should do more than produce a number. You should be able to follow the equation, identify the required units, understand the code, and check the result.

This book brings those steps together in a consistent, accessible format.

Explore three essential areas

Engineering geometry

Calculate areas, perimeters, arc lengths, volumes, and surface areas.

Engineering unit conversions

Work with length, mass, force, pressure, energy, power, speed, flow rate, and angular quantities.

Temperature and thermal calculations

Explore temperature conversions, thermal expansion, thermal strain, restrained thermal stress, and heat energy.

What you’ll find inside

• Seven chapters of engineering calculations

• Governing equations and variable definitions

• Concise, commented MATLAB functions

• Explanations and numerical examples

• MATLAB quick-reference material

• Programming guidance and a verification checklist

• An expanded subject index

Who is this book for?

Engineering students connecting mathematics with programming, instructors preparing examples, self-learners developing practical skills, and engineers building a personal calculation reference.
