Solving Equations with MATLAB - Taken from the Book "MATLAB for Beginners

Solving Equations with MATLAB provides a concise, practical introduction to solving algebraic equations using MATLAB. Taken from Peter I. Kattan's bestselling book MATLAB for Beginners: A Gentle Approach, this approximately twenty-page tutorial guides readers through the numerical and symbolic solution of linear, quadratic, and highly nonlinear equations, as well as systems of simultaneous linear and nonlinear equations. Using clear solved examples, the ebook shows the actual MATLAB commands and corresponding output, and also introduces analytical solutions using the Symbolic Math Toolbox. Practice exercises and complete solutions are included, making this free ebook an excellent hands-on resource for engineering and science students, educators, and beginning MATLAB users. This chapter is approximately 20 pages including the solutions to the exercises.
