Applied Numerical Methods using Matlab

In recent years, with the introduction of new media products, there has been a shift in the use of programming languages from fortran or c to matlab for implementing numerical methods. This book makes use of the powerful matlab software to avoid complex derivations, and to teach the fundamental concepts using the software to solve practical problems. Based on their course experience, the authors use a more practical approach and link every method to real engineering and/or science problems. The main benefit is that engineers don't have to know the mathematical theory in order to apply the numerical methods for solving their real-life problems. · matlab usage and computational errors · system of linear equations · interpolation and curve fitting · nonlinear equations · numerical differentiation/integration · ordinary differential equations · optimization · matrices and eigenvalues · partial differential equations
