Foundations of MATLAB Programming for Behavioral Sciences
With Applications
, Northwestern University, Illinois
Coming soon
Online ISBN: 9781009350303
Expected online publication date:
October 2025
- Textbook
This textbook introduces the fundamentals of MATLAB for behavioral sciences in a concise and accessible way. Written for those with or without computer programming experience, it works progressively from fundamentals to applied topics, culminating in in-depth projects. Part I covers programming basics, ensuring a firm foundation of knowledge moving forward. Difficult topics, such as data structures and program flow, are then explained with examples from the behavioral sciences. Part II introduces projects for students to apply their learning directly to real-world problems in computational modelling, data analysis, and experiment design, with an exploration of Psychtoolbox. Accompanied by online code and datasets, extension materials, and additional projects, with test banks, lecture slides, and a manual for instructors, this textbook represents a complete toolbox for both students and instructors.

Introduction to the Finite Element Method and Implementation with MATLAB®
, Clemson University, South Carolina
Online ISBN: 9781108559058
Online publication date:
09 December 2020
Connecting theory with numerical techniques using MATLAB®, this practical textbook equips students with the tools required to solve finite element problems. This hands-on guide covers a wide range of engineering problems through nine well-structured chapters including solid mechanics, heat transfer and fluid dynamics; equilibrium, steady state and transient; and 1-D, 2-D and 3-D problems. Engineering problems are discussed using case study examples, which are solved using a systematic approach, both by examining the steps manually and by implementing a complete MATLAB®code. This topical coverage is supplemented by discourse on meshing with a detailed explanation and implementation of 2-D meshing algorithms. Introducing theory and numerical techniques alongside comprehensive examples this text increases engagement and provides students with the confidence needed to implement their own computer codes to solve given problems.
