Riassunto

This textbook is an introduction to Scientific Computing, in which several numerical methods for the computer solution of certain classes of mathematical problems are illustrated. The authors show how to compute the zeros or the integrals of continuous functions, solve linear systems, approximate functions by polynomials and construct accurate approximations for the solution of ordinary and partial differential equations. To make the presentation concrete and appealing, the programming environments Matlab and Octave, which is freely distributed, are adopted as faithful companions. The book contains the solutions to several problems posed in exercises and examples, often originating from specific applications. A specific section is devoted to subjects which were not addressed in the book and contains the bibliographical references for a more comprehensive treatment of the material. The second edition features many new problems and examples, as well as more numerical methods for linear and nonlinear systems and ordinary and partial differential equations. This book is presently being translated or has appeared in the following languages:  Italian, German, French, Chinese  and Spanish.Reviews for "Scientific Computing with MATLAB" - 1st edition:" ...

From the reviews of the second edition:

"The authors present ... details about the MATLAB and Octave environments, with information about how the two products can be acquired. ... readers will find a useful set of about 60 references to books and articles about numerical methods and algorithms. ... If you work on a daily basis with things like Fourier transformations ... and Chebyshev interpolations, then you’ll find this book invaluable. If, like me, you are required to support people who work with those things, you’ll need this book ... ." (G. K. Jenkins, ACM Computing Reviews, Vol. 49 (12), December, 2008)
