Applied Numerical Methods
Book
Paperback/Softback
978-0-07-111105-8 (ISBN)
Description
This new book uses MATLAB as the primary computing environment and focuses on applications. Theory is included only when it has direct use to the student, i.e. when theory informs the concepts. Information relating to the limitations of methods and to choosing among different methods is stressed throughout. The book includes algorithms, but they are presented as MATLAB M-Files, rather than pseudocode. Chapra's familiar instructor- and student-friendly style and pedagogical features are hallmarks of this highly anticipated new text.
