Numerical Computing with matlab is a textbook for an introductory course
in numerical methods, Matlab, and technical computing. The emphasis is on in-
formed use of mathematical software. We want you learn enough about the mathe-
matical functions in Matlab that you will be able to use them correctly, appreciate
their limitations, and modify them when necessary to suit your own needs. The
topics include
• introduction to Matlab,
• linear equations,
• interpolation,
• zero and roots,
• least squares,
• quadrature,
• ordinary differential equations,
• random numbers,
• Fourier analysis,
• eigenvalues and singular values,
• partial differential equations.
