Exploring Numerical Methods An Introduction to Scientific Computing Using Matlab

Exploring Numerical Methods: An Introduction to Scientific Computing stresses insight and hands-on experience as it provides students in mathematics, engineering, computer science, and the physical sciences a well-crafted introduction to traditional numerical analysis topics.  The text includes an exploration section with problems that deal with the practical issues of software evaluation, selection, modification, and solutions to not-entirely-open-ended problems.  Designed to accommodate the needs of beginner and more experienced students, the text encourages active learning, and uses MATLAB to implement the methods and algorithms that it discusses.  Students are provided with a strong experiential foundation for future study.Linz, Peter is the author of 'Exploring Numerical Methods An Introduction to Scientific Computing Using Matlab', published 2002 under ISBN 9780763714994 and ISBN 0763714992.
