Numerical Methods in Engineering with MATLAB is a text for engineering students and a reference for practicing engineers, especially those who wish to explore the power and efficiency of MATLAB. Examples and applications were chosen for their relevance to real world problems, and where numerical solutions are most efficient. Numerical methods are discussed thoroughly and illustrated with problems involving both hand computation and programming. MATLAB mfiles accompany each method. MATLAB was chosen as the example language because of its ubiquitous use in engineering studies and practice. Moreover, it is widely available to students on school networks and through inexpensive educational versions. Explore numerical methods with MATLAB, a great tool for teaching scientific computation.
