Scientific Computing with MATLAB and Octave (eBook, PDF)

Beschreibung

This textbook is an introduction to Scientific Computing, illustrating several numerical methods for the computer solution of certain classes of mathematical problems. 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 book adopts Matlab and the freeware Octave, as faithful companions throughout. The book includes complete solutions to several problems - often originating from specific applications - posed in exercises and examples. A new section is devoted to subjects which were not addressed in the first edition 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 additional numerical methods for linear and nonlinear systems, and ordinary and partial differential equations.

Autor

Alfio Quarteroni is Professor and Director of MATHICSE at EPFL, Lausanne (Switzerland), and Professor and Director of MOX at the Politecnico di Milano (Italy). Author of 20 books (mostly published with Springer) and of more than 200 papers, he is actually one of the strongest and reliable mathematicians in the world in the field of Modelling and SC. Fausto Saleri was Professor of Numerical Analysis at Politecnico di Milano (Italy) until 2007. Author of 11 books published with Springer, he worked on the approximation of partial differential equations, giving important contributions to the study of shallow water equations and to the development of scientific software libraries for finite elements. Paola Gervasio is Associate Professor of Numerical Analysis at University of Brescia (Italy) since 2005. Her research work focuses on the approximation of partial differential equations by spectral methods and domain decomposition techniques.
