Numerical method is aimed to approximate more accurate solution that other solving methods and techniques in engineering. Nowadays, applied numerical method is needed to analyze wide range of real world applications in engineering and physical sciences fields. To achieve best estimate for some functions with minimum round off and truncation error, particularly for complicated calculations in construction, we need to integrate the computation with numerical computing applications or software such as MATLAB.
To get better understanding of Applied Numerical Methods by using MATLAB, it is advised to learn from Steven Chapra’s book, Applied Numerical Methods with MATLAB for Engineers and Scientists. The author provides detailed explanation how to transform the basic theories of numerical method and transform it with programming language, MATLAB. This software is so powerful because it offers matrix manipulation to implement algorithms of data and functions and get numerical differentiation by certain value of boundary conditions.
Applied Numerical Methods with MATLAB for Engineers and Scientists focuses on problem solving through MATLAB application. So for the readers, it is suggested to understand the basic key concepts of numerical methods before implement, demonstrate, and model engineering problems by using MATLAB.
