Applied Numerical Methods with MATLAB for Engineers and Scientists

by Steven C. Chapra

Chapra focuses on problem-solving rather than theory, using MATLAB, and is intended for Numerical Methods users; hence theory is included only to inform key concepts. The second edition features new material such as Numerical Differentiation and ODE's: Boundary-Value Problems.

Outstanding coverage of all the major topics. Each chapter is very well written. And I even managed to learn a few things about Matlab in the process.

Textbook for a class I got a B in. This textbook actually sucked and was hard to follow.

Definitely a good book for engineers and early graduate Math majors. The book delivers a very good overview of the general numerical techniques in various categories. However, one will have to do more research in specific topics to be able to thoroughly apply those techniques in her research.
