Description:

This book provides the reader with a working knowledge of the fundamentals of numerical methods utilized in various disciplines in engineering and science. MATLAB® is introduced at the outset and is used throughout the book to perform symbolic, graphical, and numerical tasks. The textbook, written at the junior level, methodically covers a wide array of methods ranging from curve fitting a set of data to numerically solving ordinary and partial differential equations. Each method is accompanied by either a user-defined function or a MATLAB script file. MATLAB built-in functions are also presented for each main topic.
