An Introduction to Applied Numerical Linear Algebra using MATLAB

by Rizwan Butt

Designed for engineers, mathematician, computer scientists, and physicists or for use as a textbook in computational courses, Applied Numerical Linear Algebra Using MATLAB, provides the reader with numerous applications, m-files, and practical examples to solve problems. Balancing theoretical concepts with computational speed and accuracy, the book includes numerous short programs in MATLAB that can be used to solve problems involving systems of linear equations, matrices, vectors, approximations, eigenvalue, computer graphics, and more. The author emphasizes the basic ideas of numerical techniques and the uses of modern mathematical software (MATLAB) rather than relying only on complex mathematical derivations. The book is accompanied by a CD-ROM with all the figures, codes, solutions, appendices, an introduction to MATLAB commands, and m-files for all the programs.
