MATLAB: Smart Analytics for Engineering

Description

MATLAB: Smart Analytics for Water Engineering is an advanced, application-centric volume designed to foster proficiency in MATLAB within the specialized field of civil engineering. Drawing on a “learn-by-doing” pedagogical approach, the book integrates foundational programming constructs—such as matrix manipulation, vectorization, and indexing—with advanced computational methodologies including linear algebra, optimization, and statistical analysis. A distinguishing feature is its comprehensive focus on intelligent systems, encompassing neural networks, fuzzy logic, and genetic algorithms. Further enriched by capabilities in image processing, Simulink-based modeling, and immersive virtual reality techniques, the book enables dynamic analytical engagement. Anchored in practical relevance, 13 case studies illustrate practical applications across diverse hydrological basin systems, thereby bridging theory with practice. Though not an exhaustive reference manual, the text offers a strategically curated, intellectually accessible resource for engineers, researchers, and academics. It empowers users to harness MATLAB’s multifaceted functionalities in solving complex, interdisciplinary problems in contemporary water engineering.
