This book was a drag. Well, the subject can be a drag, and this book did an adequate job of presenting the material.

Just perfect for the course i'm currently in. It's easy to understand, gives examples of the codes to be written in computer. Give explanation on VBA Editor and Solver which is i need it the most.

One of the best books I ever read. The presentation of the book is awesome and every chapter has the following:
Motivation: why anyone should understand this subject
Mathematical background
Scope and preview of each chapter
Goals and objectives

I purchased this book for my post graduation mathematics subject.

I think this is how each book should be written and this is how subjects are to be taught.

I haven't read the whole thing, but about 80% of it. The part relevant to the course anyway.

The platonic ideal an applied mathematics textbook: really clearly written, really relevant, really illuminating. I went from having no idea of how to solve problems in science and engineering with no analytic (long-hand) solutions, to having a sound grounding in computer-assisted methods for differential calculus, integral calculus, differential equations, linear algebra, as well as linear, polynomial, and exponential regression. For most engineering students enrolled in a numerical methods, Chapra's text is the clear choice.

Overall its a good textbook, but it contains several numerical methods that have been built into $20 non-programmable calculators.

buku yang bagus, meskipun contoh-contoh pemodelan dan aplikasi nya masih terasa minim, tapi secara keseluruhan bagus...
