Features: This book is an introduction to numerical methods and MATLAB, written as a textbook for students in science and engineering disciplines at universities. Numerical methods can be used to generate approximate solutions to problems that cannot be solved by other methods. The main purpose of this book is to lay a solid foundation for applied computing, explaining the implementation and application of standard numerical methods in real-world problems from simple to complex. Throughout the book, good programming practices are used to demonstrate to readers how to clearly express computational ideas and write documentation. The book provides readers with a large number of directly runnable code libraries and explains the use of numerical methods in built-in functions of the MATLAB toolbox, helping readers attempt to apply numerical methods to solve practical problems.
