Numerical Methods: Using MATLAB

Numerical Methods: Using MATLAB, Third Edition provides a clear and rigorous introduction to a wide range of numerical methods that have practical applications. The authors’ approach is to integrate MATLAB with numerical analysis in a way which adds clarity to the numerical analysis and develops familiarity with MATLAB. MATLAB graphics are used extensively to clarify complex problems and give a deeper understanding of their nature.

This text will be a valuable aid to people working in a wide range of professions, such as engineering, science and economics. By using MATLAB it is possible for the reader to tackle some large and difficult problems and deepen and consolidate their understanding of problem solving using numerical methods.

Numerical Methods using MATLAB, 3e, is an extensive reference offering hundreds of useful and important numerical algorithms that can be implemented into MATLAB for a graphical interpretation to help researchers analyze a particular outcome. Many worked examples are given together with exercises and solutions to illustrate how numerical methods can be used to study problems that have applications in the biosciences, chaos, optimization, engineering and science across the board.
