Introduction to Numerical Methods and MATLAB: Implementations and Applications Book

From the Back Cover: The outstanding pedagogical features of this book are: o use of numerical experiments as a means of learning why numerical methods work and how they fail; o a separate chapter reviewing the basics of applied linear algebra, and how computations involving matrices and vectors are naturally expressed in MATLAB; o use of a range of examples from those that provide a succinct illustration of a basic algorithm, to those that develop solutions to substantial problems in engineering; o consistent use of well-documented and structured code written in the MATLAB idiom; o a library of general purpose routines?-the NMM Toolbox-?that are readily applied to new problems; o a progressive approach to algorithm development leading the reader to an understanding of the more sophisticated routines in the built-in MATLAB toolbox.Read More
