Applied Numerical Mathematics

Applied Numerical Methods with MATLAB is written for students who want to learn and apply numerical methods in order to solve problems in engineering and science.

SINCE the first edition was published, numerical work with machines has come to play a regular part in education whether in mathematics or as a step to computer studies. This fact has been recognised in some syllabuses, notably that of the project for Mathematics in Education and Industry (M.E.I.). Since this text has been used in preparation for such examinations, it has been expanded to include suitable revision questions. The author wishes to thank the Oxford and Cambridge Board for leave to reprint questions from the M.E.I. A Level and Special Papers, and also to the Examinations Council of London University for questions from that University's Teachers' Certificate.
