Publisher's Synopsis
This workbook is intended for advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate students as a supplement to a traditional course in numerical mathematics and as preparation for independent research involving numerical mathematics. Upon completion of this workbook, students will have a working knowledge of MATLAB programming, they will have themselves programmed algorithms encountered in classwork and textbooks, and they will know how to check and verify their own programs against hand calculations and by reference to theoretical results, special polynomial solutions and other specialized solutions. No previous programming experience with MATLAB is necessary.
