Which book or books do you recommend that cover advanced engineering topics and problem solving using matlab?


I already finished a very good introductory book and i want something more advanced.


Do you think it's better to read a book that covers several topics or search for the topics i'm interested in and then explore the methods applied on them?


I'm more interested in applied mathematics, algorithms, computation and engineering.
I study product design and engineering if this helps.



Matlab book recommendation
Here is a list of some books that you might find useful.


1. Introduction to Scientific Computing by Charles F. Van Loan
2. Matrix Computations by Golub and Van Loan (uses Matlab notation, but contains a wealth of material)
3. You might also benefit from trying to extend the methods in "Numerical Recipes" to Matlab. They have some information about that [here](http://www.nr.com/nr3_matlab.html)
4. Have a look at "Numerical Computing with Matlab" by Cleve Moler (the guy who created Matlab); [check it out here](http://www.mathworks.com/moler/chapters.html)


But really, the best way to learn more is to actually have an application or targeted problem at hand. Then, while attempting to solve your problem, you will gradually pick up the tricks of the trade. While doing that, perhaps people at the mathworks file exchange or over at stackoverflow might be able to help you further. Happy experimenting!
