Editorial Reviews
Review
" . . . . a step ahead of the many other numerical methods books in the marketplace . . . . an opportunity to see real world applications." -- Ray Rigamonte
"Examples took me step by step through problems in Mathcad . . . . I was able to grasp thorough understanding of the material." -- Lisa M. Dale
"Sound, timely, and suitably targeted . . . . suits the modern approach to a first level course in numerical methods." -- Gary J. Hordemann, Mechanical Engineer
"The book did an awesome job demonstrating and explaining concepts that were completely foreign to me." -- Sessyle A. Asato
"The student response at Gonzaga University School of Engineering is positively strong . . . . the book meets the undergraduate student study requirements." -- Anwar S. Khattak, Ph.D.
"The textbook examples were the easiest way in which to learn Mathcad procedures and commands." -- Ryan Wade, Engineering Technician

From the Publisher
A very readable textbook that does not intimidate students with its content. Mathcad screenshots have been reproduced throughout the book to help make the computer software understandable. Page size, borders, font size, and space between equations are larger than normal, but they induce the learner not to give up. The layout makes learning numerical methods for engineering problems student-friendly. A very readable textbook for the lower-level courses and an excellent review for higher-level coursework. Overall, a good resource to have on hand for engineers, from the beginning engineering students to the engineering teachers.

A clear introduction to numerical methods using MathCad,
By A Customer
This review is from: Numerical Methods for Engineers with Mathcad (Textbook Binding)
The book is well suited for a basic one-semester course on numerical methods. It could be adopted for an undergraduate level engineering class. In fact, the spectrum of problems solved is broad, ranging from statics and mechanics of materials to dynamics, and embraces the fundamental engineering undergraduate courses. After the introduction of computational tools for solving linear and non-linear algebraic equations, and ordinary differential equations, the author describes techniques of numerical differentiation, integration, regression analysis, and interpolation. The book is clearly written and illustrated so that the student can understand the basic concepts that then lead to more difficult ones. The MathCad program is user friendly, and constitutes a complete math package. The book is provided with a solution manual for instructors. I suggest consideration of this book for instructors teaching a first numerical methods course.

Pretty good book for a fresh engineering student,
By A Customer
This review is from: Numerical Methods for Engineers with Mathcad (Textbook Binding)
I think this is a pretty good book for a fresh engineering student. Chapters like Matrices and Linear Algebra, Numerical Interpolation, Numerical Differentiation etc. are very well explained. Note: If Appendix would have been there including formulas, abbreviations & definitions then that will surely help as a quick reference.

A good solid introduction to Numerical Methods via MathCad,
By A Customer
This review is from: Numerical Methods for Engineers with Mathcad (Textbook Binding)
This book offers a good solid introduction to the use of Numerical Methods in the solution of engineering problems via Mathcad. I would certainly recommend this book for a first course in Numerical Methods. It can also be quite useful to practising engineers who use Mathcad.
