Synopsis

Designed to give undergraduate engineering students a practical and rigorous introduction to the fundamentals of numerical computation.

This book is a thoroughly modern exposition of classic numerical methods using MATLAB. The fundamental theory of each method is briefly developed. Rather than providing a detailed numerical analysis, the behavior of the methods is exposed by carefully designed numerical experiments. The methods are then exercised on several nontrivial...

From the Back Cover

This book is an introduction to MATLAB and an introduction to numerical methods. It is written for students of engineering, applied mathematics, and science. The primary objective of numerical methods is to obtain approximate solutions to problems that are not obtainable by other means. This book teaches how the core techniques of numerical methods are used to solve otherwise unsolvable problems of modern technological significance.

The outstanding...

From the Inside Flap

Preface

This book is about using MATLAB to obtain numerical solutions to problems in engineering and science. The emphasis is on the application of standard numerical techniques, not on the analysis of those techniques. Mathematical theory is used primarily to develop the logic of the algorithms and to identify the strengths and weaknesses of different numerical methods. In most cases, the behavior of the methods is...
