Great Book

By Joseph "Joseph" - January 15, 2005

This is a well-written book that provides a nice, concise introduction to numerical methods. As with other books by this author, it is very student friendly and should be particularly useful for people, like myself, who use it for self-study. I was not familiar with MATLAB prior to using the book. This book made it relatively easy for me to pick up the fundamentals and then implement numerical solutions. As a computer scientist, I also liked the emphasis placed on the development of M-files. My only criticism is that I wish the book covered more material. I hope that the author expands it in future editions.

A good book to help you code numerical methods in MATLAB

By Srikumar Sandeep - February 11, 2009

I use this book. It is very short, but well written.
If you want to learn numerical methods - Use Burden & Faires.
But this book is for the end - user of the MATLAB numerical methods. It also gives some background info on these methods.

not for beginners

By magumbo - March 6, 2005

I had to buy this book for my class. This book doesn't instruct how to input equations. Not enough example answer codes for each problem. Less visual and tedious to follow all words.
