MATLAB Tutorial for Engineering Electromagnetics. This tutorial provides a brief introduction to the basics of using MATLAB, the MathWorks’ Corporation’s mathematical computation package. It was written to accompany Fundamentals of Electromagnetics with MATLAB, Second Edition by Lonngren, Savov, and Jost for students coming to the first engineering electromagnetics course with no or little prior exposure to MATLAB. Students who have purchased the text and registered their books are receiving the Tutorial as a free supplement on the Student CD or accessible from the book’s website upon User log-in. Those who have purchased a previous version of the text or are using another book can purchase an “Upgrade CD” from SciTech that contains the MATLAB Tutorial or access it, along with other helpful files, from the dedicated Lonngren.MATLAB is a high-level programming language, as well as an interactive environment for technical computing. MATLAB allows you to perform computationally intense tasks with minimum development time due to its many built-in functions and capabilities. MATLAB also offers extensive visualization capabilities with easy-to-use routines for plotting data in a multitude of formats. To extend MATLAB beyond it core capabilities, there are a large number of add-on products, called toolboxes, that provide additional capability for electrical and computer engineers (ECE) in such areas as image processing, signal processing and communications, mathematics and optimization statistics and data analysis, control system analysis and design, and many other specialty areas. Rare is the ECE curriculum today that does not make use of MATLAB at some point. Many instructors believe the time has come for its early introduction and application in the junior year’s electromagnetics course, perhaps even earlier in a sophomore preparatory course. In either case, we believe this Tutorial will be quite helpful to electrical and computer engineering students. The authors of this tutorial – Jost an electrical engineer and Padgett an aerospace engineer with teaching electromagnetics to mechanical engineers – believe that undergraduate use of computational tools like MATLAB can greatly improve the understanding of challenging concepts that engineering students are exposed to in their beginning courses. Ideally, one could take an introductory course in basic programming and engineering problem-solving based on using MATLAB, and there are many texts available for such a course. However, engineering students have been exposed to these concepts in a course on C / C++ programming and in their other beginning engineering courses, leaving no time for a detailed introduction to a tool like MATLAB. Therefore, the authors decided to put together a “bootstrapping” tutorial on MATLAB operations and applications specifically for those ECE students who need a quick but thorough exposure to the language.
