Applied Numerical Methods with MATLAB for Engineering and Science w/ Engineering Subscription Card

by Steven C. Chapra

*******Text Available 6/25/2004!********** Steven Chapra’s new text, Applied Numerical Methods with MATLAB for Engineers and Scientists , is written for engineers and scientists who want to learn numerical problem solving. Aimed at numerical methods users rather than developers, the text employs problems rather than mathematics to motivate readers. Guided by Chapra’s proven student-oriented pedagogy, including chapter objectives, worked examples, and student-friendly problems, the reader builds a strong working knowledge of numerical problem solving while moving progressively through the text.

Outstanding coverage of all the major topics. Each chapter is very well written. And I even managed to learn a few things about Matlab in the process.

Textbook for a class I got a B in. This textbook actually sucked and was hard to follow.

Definitely a good book for engineers and early graduate Math majors. The book delivers a very good overview of the general numerical techniques in various categories. However, one will have to do more research in specific topics to be able to thoroughly apply those techniques in her research.
