Book Summary of Applied Numerical Methods Using MATLAB The objective of this book is to make use of the powerful MATLAB software to avoid complex derivations and to teach the fundamental concepts using the software to solve practical problems. The authors use a more practical approach and link every method to real engineering and/or science problems. The main idea is that engineers don't have to know the mathematical theory in order to apply the numerical methods for solving their real-life problems. About the Author Won Y.
