A clear and concise guide to numerical methods and their application
Mastering numerical methods has never been easier than with Gilat/Subramaniam’s Numerical Methods For Engineers and Scientists: An Introduction with Applications Using MATLAB. Uniquely accessible and concise, this book takes an innovative approach that integrates the study of numerical methods with hands-on programming practice using the popular MATLAB environment to solve realistic problems in engineering and science.
Ideal for both students and professionals who would like to become more adept at numerical methods, Numerical Methods For Engineers and Scientists familiarizes you with:
- The mathematical background and fundamentals of numerical methods
- Solving nonlinear equations
- Solving a system of linear equations
- Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors
- Function approximation, curve fitting, and interpolation
- Differentiation
- Integration
- First-order and higher-order ODEs
- Initial and boundary value problems
Using MATLAB’s built-in functions as tools for solving problems, you will practice applying numerical methods for analysis of real-world problems. All the information is presented in manageable, step-by-step fashion, supported by a large number of annotated examples and end-of-chapter problems.
Lucid, carefully structured, and flexibly designed to fulfill a wide range of academic and practical needs, this book will help you develop the skills in numerical methods that will serve you well as a practicing engineer.

Great info!,

This review is from: Numerical Methods for Engineers and Scientists: An Introduction with Applications Using MATLAB (Hardcover)
If you want to know more about MATLAB and its various functions, this book is for you! It also shows you different approximations and neat tips and tricks. Highly recommend for the secret nerd who wants to know how MATLAB functions are made. It's good to note that the newer addition has the same information with different problems. Other than that, they're the EXACT same.

This review is from: Numerical Methods for Engineers and Scientists: An Introduction with Applications Using MATLAB (Hardcover)
I had his other textbooks in matlab... he is the best so far in explaining how things work, giving quick recipes in how to implement etc.
I highly recommend this book for those who are new to numerical methods :)
