Applied Numerical Methods Using MATLAB

by Won Young Yang, John Morris, Wenwu Cao

In recent years, with the introduction of new media products, there has been a shift in the use of programming languages from FORTRAN or C to MATLAB for implementing numerical methods. This book makes use of the powerful MATLAB software to avoid complex derivations, and to teach the fundamental concepts using the software to solve practical problems. Over the years, many textbooks have been written on the subject of numerical methods. Based on their course experience, the authors use a more practical approach and link every method to real engineering and/or science problems. The main benefit is that engineers don't have to know the mathematical theory in order to apply the numerical methods for solving their real-life problems.

An Instructor's Manual presenting detailed solutions to all the problems in the book is available online.

Excellent book. It demands only basic knowledge in Matlab programming. The huge amount of examples, concerning many applications, also in not so frequently met topics, like the optimalization and PDE solving with finite differences methods. The examples are clearly explained and really working! The book is in my opinion obligatory for all the people working in numerical analysis in the Matlab environment.

I read this book because I need to solve shorodinger equeation in my master of science project and i learned very things but I need to know more than this

This book is really useful.
Among all the books I've read about MATLAB, this one is the best.
