MATLAB (short for Matrix Laboratory) is a software tool used widely in engineering curriculum that provides high-performance numerical computational, graphical, and animation capabilities. Many of OUP's engineering titles, including Lathi's Modern Digital and Analog Communications, 4e, the forthcoming Uicker, Pennock and Shigley's Theory of Machines and Mechanisms, 4e, and Sadiku's Elements of Electromagnetics, 5e, incorporate MATLAB codes into the homework problems and chapter examples. The new edition brings the book up to date with MATLAB ve... MORE
