Statics with MATLABยฎ
แแ แแแฌแแแแแก แจแแกแแฎแแ
MATLABยฎ is presented and introduced as a highly convenient tool to solve problems for theory and applications in statics. Included are example problems to demonstrate the MATLABยฎ syntax and to also introduce specific functions dealing with statics. These explanations are reinforced through figures generated with MATLABยฎ and the extra material available online which includes the special functions described.
This detailed introduction and application of MATLABยฎ to the field of statics makes Statics with MATLABยฎ a useful tool for instruction as well as self study, highlighting the use of symbolic MATLABยฎ for both theory and applications to find analytical and numerical solutions
