"Accessible introduction to aerodynamics using a unique computational approach based
on widely available MATLAB software tools. Based on the author's years of experience
teaching aerodynamics to students, he has developed an approach combining the use
of widely available MATLAB commercial code (also compatible with Octave GNU open source
code) with clear narrative explanations of the concepts that simplifies the understanding
of aerodynamics without sacrificing the mathematical underpinnings or leaving the
reader overwhelmed with complex formulas. The ability of the reader to download and
run the code examples makes this an ideal self-learning tool, as well as a valuable
course text. The choice of compatible MATLAB/Octave code ensures anyone can run the
examples - either using open-source GNU Octave software as many consultancies and
small firms do, or using the MATLAB commercial application (including the student
edition) which is used widely in industry and is almost ubiquitous in academia. The
code has been carefully compiled and checked for compatibility with both applications"
; "Provides a clear introduction to aerodynamics based on a line and panel methods"
