NUMERICAL COMPUTING WITH MATLAB------PHI
Description:
Numerical Computing with MATLAB is
a lively textbook for an introductory course in numerical methods,
MATLAB, and technical computing. The emphasis is on the informed use of
mathematical software, in particular, the presentation helps readers
learn enough about the mathematical functions
in MATLAB to use them correctly, appreciate their limitations, and
modify them appropriately. The book makes extensive use of computer
graphics, including interactive graphical expositions of numerical
algorithms. It provides more than 70 M-files, which can be downloaded
from the text website www.mathworks.com/moler. Many of the more than 200 exercises involve modifying and extending these programs.
Motivating applications included in the book are modern problems from
cryptography, touch-tone dialing, Google page ranking, atmospheric
science, and image processing, as well as classical problems from
physics and engineering.
The book is useful for students of science and all disciplines of
engineering, both at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
