For courses in numerical methods.MATLAB has changed the concept of programming for numerical and mathematical analyses, and in doing so offers unique and fascinating capabilities in the engineering and science fields. This text fully implements MATLAB's mathematical and graphic tools in application of numerical analysis. The author covers programming in MATLAB, mathematical basics of numerical analysis, application of numerical methods to engineering, scientific, and mathematical problems, and scientific graphics with MATLAB.NEW - Focus on MATLAB-6-Modifies many explanations and implements the new features of MATLAB into the software in the book (the previous edition was based on MATLAB 4). Keeps students up to date on the latest version of the software. Ex.___NEW - Additional introductory coverage of MATLAB-Revises explanation in Chapter 1 of MATLAB commands, examples, and exercise problems, and increases the number of problems, so that beginning students can understand the programming. Makes material more accessible for beginning students and makes book more adaptable to students at different levels. Ex.___NEW - New graphic capabilities in MATLAB-6-Updates Chapter 2 on Graphics to incorporate new features of MATLAB. Keeps students up to date on the latest version of the software. Ex.___NEW - Redrawn figures with better captions-Includes subscripts, superscripts, and legends. Appeals to students' need to learn visually and supports text material. Ex.___NEW - Solution keys provided. Helps students assess their progress and understanding of the material. Ex.___Comprehensive tutorials of MATLAB commands and graphic tools. Gives students a well-rounded understanding of fundamental concepts. Ex.___Coverage of numerical methods with their implementations in MATLAB-Illustrates all numerical methods described with applications in MATLAB. Demonstrates realistic applications of principles. Ex.___Lists of scripts and functions-Enables students to run most examples and figures on their own computers. Gives students firsthand, hands-on practice with the material. Ex.___
