Product Description
Designed to give undergraduate engineering students a practical and rigorous introduction to the fundamentals of numerical computation. This book is a thoroughly modern exposition of classic numerical methods using MATLAB. The fundamental theory of each method is briefly developed. Rather than providing a detailed numerical analysis, the behavior of the methods is exposed by carefully designed numerical experiments. The methods are then exercised on several nontrivial example problems from engineering practice. The material in each chapter is organized as a progression from the simple to the complex. This leads the student to an understanding of the sophisticated numerical methods that are part of MATLAB. An integral part of the book is the Numerical Methods with MATLAB (NMM) Toolbox, which provides 150 programs and over forty data sets. The NMM Toolbox is a library of numerical techniques implemented in structured and clearly written code.

 Okay for a text March 18, 2006

This book is okay for a text book, however there arent many examples, and the examples that are there are very simple. There are solutions for some problems online, though most of them are very basic and don't help very much.
 Useful Book August 27, 2004

This is a nice book for scientists and engineers. There are MATLAB programs already written that you can download from the webpage very easily, and modify for your specific use. I am no programmer, so having programs I can easily modify is a plus. This is meant to only be a review of linear algebra, so if you are trying to learn that subject, you will probably need to supplement this text with another book. This is not terribly in-depth on the MATLAB either. But it is a very useful handbook of plotting and interpolation methods, and how to choose the best methods for your particular set of data.
