Numerical Methods for Engineers

by Steven C. Chapra

The seventh edition of Chapra and Canale's Numerical Methods for Engineers retains the instructional techniques that have made the text so successful. Chapra and Canale's unique approach opens each part of the text with sections called “Motivation,“ “Mathematical Background,” and “Orientation” Each part closes with an “Epilogue” containing “Trade-Offs,” “Important Relationships and Formulas,” and “Advanced Methods and Additional References.” Much more than a summary, the Epilogue deepens understanding of what has been learned and provides a peek into more advanced methods. Helpful separate Appendices. “Getting Started with MATLAB” and “Getting Started with Mathcad” which make excellent references.

Numerous new or revised problems are drawn from actual engineering practice. The expanded breadth of engineering disciplines covered is especially evident in these exercises, which now cover such areas as biotechnology and biomedical engineering. Excellent new examples and case studies span all areas of engineering giving students a broad exposure to various fields in engineering.

Users will find use of files for many popular software packages, specifically MATLAB®, Excel® with VBA, and Mathcad®. There is also material on developing MATLAB® m-files and VBA macros.

This book is actually really good for the subject. Great examples.

This book was a drag. Well, the subject can be a drag, and this book did an adequate job of presenting the material.

[Raghu Nandan · Rating 5 out of 5]

One of the best books I ever read. The presentation of the book is awesome and every chapter has the following:
Motivation: why anyone should understand this subject
Mathematical background
Scope and preview of each chapter
Goals and objectives

I purchased this book for my post graduation mathematics subject.

I think this is how each book should be written and this is how subjects are to be taught.

Comprehensive and easy to follow.

I haven't read the whole thing, but about 80% of it. The part relevant to the course anyway.

Excelente servicio 👌

[James Millikan · Rating 5 out of 5]

The platonic ideal an applied mathematics textbook: really clearly written, really relevant, really illuminating. I went from having no idea of how to solve problems in science and engineering with no analytic (long-hand) solutions, to having a sound grounding in computer-assisted methods for differential calculus, integral calculus, differential equations, linear algebra, as well as linear, polynomial, and exponential regression. For most engineering students enrolled in a numerical methods, Chapra's text is the clear choice.

ugggh

[Adam Lohonyai · Rating 2 out of 5]

Overall its a good textbook, but it contains several numerical methods that have been built into $20 non-programmable calculators.

ok

buku yang bagus, meskipun contoh-contoh pemodelan dan aplikasi nya masih terasa minim, tapi secara keseluruhan bagus...
