Synopsis

Enhance Your Students' Mathematical Problem-Solving Ability Scientific Computing with MATLAB(R), Second Edition improves students' ability to tackle mathematical problems. It helps students understand the mathematical background and find reliable and accurate solutions to mathematical problems with the use of MATLAB, avoiding the tedious and complex technical details of mathematics. This edition retains the structure of its predecessor Solving Applied Mathematical Problems with MATLAB(R) while expanding and updating the content of each chapter. Based on the authors' extensive teaching, research, and industrial experiences, the text adheres to the following course sequence: * An overview of the computer languages suitable for mathematics * Fundamentals of MATLAB programming * Calculus problems * Linear algebra problems * Integral transforms and complex variable functions * Nonlinear equations and optimization problems * Differential equations problems * Data interpolation and functional approximation problems * Probability and statistics problems * Nontraditional methods, such as fuzzy logic, rough sets, neural networks, evolution algorithms, wavelets, and fractional calculus The book bridges the gap between problems and solutions through well-grouped topics and clear MATLAB example scripts and reproducible MATLAB-generated plots. Students can effortlessly experiment with the scripts for a deep, hands-on exploration. Each chapter also includes a set of problems to strengthen understanding of the material.

Review

Praise for the First Edition:
"... this volume has many interesting cases to illustrate the power of MATLAB."
―Bulletin of the Belgian Mathematical Society, Volume 20, 2013

"The reader’s ability to tackle mathematical problems can be significantly enhanced after reading this book. ... This book can be used as a reference text for almost all college students, both undergraduates and graduates, in almost all disciplines that require certain levels of applied mathematics. This book will be a good desktop reference for many who have graduated from college and are still involved in solving mathematical problems in their jobs. A lot of MATLAB function designed by the authors and some third-party free toolboxes are also presented in the book."
―Zentralblatt MATH, 1156
