14 with Service Pack 2, well known as R14SP2, can also be found in Appendix. All of the MATLAB commands have been tested to take advantage with new features of the current version of MATLAB available here at Northwestern (R14SP2). Although, most of the examples and exercises still work with previous releases as well. This manual reflects the ongoing effort of the McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Science leading by Dean Stephen Carr to institute a significant technical computing in the Engineering First°R 2 courses taught at Northwestern University. Finally, the students - Engineering Analysis (EA) Section - deserve my special gratitude. They were very active participants in class.
