Advanced Mathematics and Mechanics Applications Using MATLAB


The organization of this book breaks MATLAB object-oriented programming into three sections.

*The first section covers the required elements and focuses on developing a set of functions that give
MATLAB objects first-class status within the environment.

*The second section builds on the first by developing strategies and implementations that allow the construction
of hierarchies without compromises. Such hierarchies are important for achieving true object-oriented programming.

*The third section discusses advanced strategies and introduces some useful utilities. Advanced strategies
include, among others, type-based function selection, also known as polymorphism; passing arguments by
reference instead of by value; replacing function handle with an object; and a utility for rapid object-oriented
code development.
