3. This e-book is designed for individuals learning functions of a complex number and who enjoy utilizing MATLAB. It will enhance the learning experience of complex number theory and will reinforce the knowledge of someone already experienced in this field of advanced calculus.

   ABET, the accrediting board for engineering programs, emphasizes that engineering graduates must be proficient in the art of programming in a language like MATLAB®. Providing students with a link between the functions of complex number theory and MATLAB, this supplementary text enables instructors to easily incorporate a MATLAB component into their complex number courses.

   A MATLAB® Companion to Complex Numbers provides readers with a clear understanding of the usefulness of MATLAB in complex number calculus. An excellent addition to standard texts on the functions of complex numbers, the book allows professors to quickly locate and assign MATLAB programming problems that can bolster students’ understanding of the language and concepts of complex number theory.

   The book demonstrates to students how MATLAB can be a potent learning aid in such fundamental aspects of complex number theory as conformal mapping, infinite series, contour integration, and Laplace and Fourier transforms. Alongside MATLAB programming problems, the text includes numerous examples in each chapter accompanied by MATLAB code.

   Fractals, the latest compelling topic involving complex numbers, requires a programming language like MATLAB. This book concludes with a Coda, which is dedicated solely to this visually stimulating subject.

   MATLAB is not without limitations, annoyances, and peculiarities, and there are subtleties involved in performing the calculus of complex number theory with this language. Without awareness of these subtleties, engineers or scientists attempting to apply MATLAB for solutions to practical problems in complex number theory run the risk of making significant errors. This book acts as an early alert system about these potential pitfalls.
