Introduction to Numerical Methods and MATLAB: Implementations and Applications

by Gerald W. Reckenwald and Gerald Recktenwald

Book Overview

This thorough, modern exposition of classic numerical methods using MATLAB briefly develops the fundamental theory of each method. Rather than providing a detailed numerical analysis, the behavior of the methods is exposed by carefully designed numerical experiments. The methods are then exercised on several nontrivial example problems from engineering practice. KEY TOPICS: This structured, concise, and efficient book contains a...

Useful Book

This is a nice book for scientists and engineers. There are MATLAB programs already written that you can download from the webpage very easily, and modify for your specific use. I am no programmer, so having programs I can easily modify is a plus. This is meant to only be a review of linear algebra, so if you are trying to learn that subject, you will probably need to supplement this text with another book. This is not terribly in-depth on the MATLAB either. But it is a very useful handbook of plotting and interpolation methods, and how to choose the best methods for your particular set of data.
