Description

Suitable for Modern Numerical Methods courses for third and fourth years of study. A good basic reference for postgraduates. Skillfully balancing rigor with practicality, this progressive and visually rich text on using MATLAB software explores how this modern and powerful computing technology can-in an elegant and efficient way-solve exacting and interesting problems that have application in science and industry. Encouraging systematic experimentation, it offers an extensive, hands-on study of MATLAB functions and exposes students to a wide range of numerical algorithms-including optimization and regression analysis with applications of symbolic methods-with full explanations of their fundamental principles and illustrations of their application.
