Here's what instructors are saying about our textbooks. We're passionate about making sure all our titles get raves like these...
There's no better general introduction to engineering than 'Engineering Your Future'.
Dr. Shiflett
USC

Excellent approach to introducing MATLAB for technical problem solving.
Dr. Oakes
Purdue U.

This text was more current than others available, with a good mix of technical and social issues. The students really enjoyed the book.
Dean Robert J. Marley
Montana State University

Great book! Matches our needs very well!

As we prepare the 2nd edition, we would be very grateful if you would take a moment to share your thoughts about the textbook by Sticklen & Eskil titled "Introduction to Technical Problem Solving with MATLAB." We intend to release a 2nd edition in '06, as well as a sort of "sequel" to this first text in a Volume II that will take students further with MATLAB.

Please comment on the depth of coverage of this book, with particular comments about various chapters.

What additional topics would you suggest that we cover in this textbook?

What topics that have been covered would you omit in subsequent editions?

In the 2nd edition (available 4/06), we are adding the material listed below. Please indicate those that appeal to you:
      Augmentation of the Framework Chapter (currently Chapter 2)...problems that are like the "Haybale problem" but with details and solutions left out. (This is not actual MATLAB, but rather intro to problem solving material.)
      Addition to the chapter on programming (IF/FOR) to include WHILE loops
      Addition of 3-D plotting to the chapter on 2-D Plotting and HELP
      Addition of a new chapter on Symbolic Computations

In subsequent editions we are contemplating adding the following topics. Again, please indicate those that appeal to you:
      A chapter on the Symbolic Toolbox
      A chapter on Curve Fitting and Regression
      A chapter on Numerical Differential Equations
