Description and Table of Contents

Description

This is a broad overview of numerical methods and software for students and professionals in computer-related disciplines who need to solve mathemtical problems. It is particularly useful for students from computer science, as well as engineering and science undergraduates who need to learn which techniques (and which software) are appropriate to use in solving particular problems. The book features review questions, and shows applications for the most common computational software, including MATLAB, IMSL and NAG.
