Stahel A. Octave and MatLAB for Engineers 2020

Textbook in PDF format

These lecture notes were used at my school to familiarize students with Octave, to be used to solve engineering problems. A first version was based on Octave and you will still find sections to be adapted to MatLAB.
The notes consist of two chapters.
The first chapter is an introduction to the basic Octave/MatLAB commands and data structures. The goal is to provide simple examples for often used commands and point out some important aspects of programming in Octave or MatLAB. The students are expected to work through all of those sections. Then they should be prepared to use Octave and MatLAB for their projects.
The second chapter consists of applications of MatLAB/Octave. In each section the question or problem is formulated and then solved with the help of Octave/MatLAB. This small set of applications with solutions shall help you to solve your engineering problems. In class I choose a few of those topics and present them to the students.
