Description

Book Synopsis

This new edition provides an updated approach for students, engineers, and researchers to apply numerical methods for solving problems using MATLAB

This accessible book makes use of MATLAB software to teach the fundamental concepts for applying numerical methods to solve practical engineering and/or science problems. It presents programs in a complete form so that readers can run them instantly with no programming skill, allowing them to focus on understanding the mathematical manipulation process and making interpretations of the results.

Applied Numerical Methods Using MATLAB, Second Edition begins with an introduction to MATLAB usage and computational errors, covering everything from input/output of data, to various kinds of computing errors, and on to parameter sharing and passing, and more. The system of linear equations is covered next, followed by a chapter on the interpolation by Lagrange polynomial. The next secti
