Amos Gilat

This book provides engineers with a more concise treatment of the essential topics of numerical methods while emphasizing MATLAB use. The third edition includes a new chapter, with all new content, on Fourier Transform and a new chapter on Eigenvalues (compiled from existing Second Edition content). The focus is placed on the use of anonymous functions instead of inline functions and the uses of subfunctions and nested functions. This updated edition includes 50% new or updated Homework Problems, updated examples, helping engineers test their understanding and reinforce key concepts.

New To This Edition
NEW Chapter: A new chapter (Chapter 7) on Fourier Methods has been added to the book. The chapter covers Fourier series, discrete Fourier series, Discrete Fourier Transform, and an introduction to the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), which is widely used in engineering for processing digital data.
Eignvalues and Eignvectors: This topic, which was part of Chapter 4 (Solving a System of Linear Equations) in the first two editions of the book, is now covered in a separate chapter, further strengthening the coverage of this key topic.

MATLAB: The third edition of the book is updated to MATLAB R2012b. All the programs use anonymous functions, and function handles are used for passing functions into functions. Appendix A has been updated to the current version of MATLAB.
Homework Problems: Increased number of end-of-chapter problems to approximately 40 per chapter. About 50% of end-of-chapter problems have been revised.

This concise book is known for its just-in-time learning approach that gives students information when they need it. This edition gradually presents the latest MATLAB functionality in detail.

Equally effective as a freshmen-level text, self-study tool, or course reference, the book is generously illustrated through computer screen shots and step-by-step tutorials, with abundant and motivating applications to problems in mathematics, science, and engineering.

More college students use Amos Gilats MATLAB: An Introduction with Applications than any other MATLAB textbook. This concise book is known for its just-in-time learning approach that gives students information when they need it. The 6th Edition gradually presents the latest MATLAB functionality in detail. The book includes numerous sample problems in mathematics, science, and engineering that are similar to problems encountered by new users of MATLAB. MATLAB: An Introduction with Applications is intended for students who are using MATLAB for the first time and have little or no experience in computer programming. It can be used as a textbook in first-year engineering courses or as a reference in more advanced science and engineering courses where MATLAB is introduced as a tool for solving problems.

Numerical Methods for Engineers and Scientists, 3rd Edition provides engineers with a more concise treatment of the essential topics of numerical methods while emphasizing MATLAB use. The third edition includes a new chapter, with all new content, on Fourier Transform and a new chapter on Eigenvalues (compiled from existing Second Edition content). The focus is placed on the use of anonymous functions instead of inline functions and the uses of subfunctions and nested functions. This updated edition includes 50% new or updated Homework Problems, updated examples, helping engineers test their understanding and reinforce key concepts.

Assuming no prior MATLAB experience, this clear, easy-to-read book walks readers through the ins and outs of this powerful software for technical computing.
