Inhaltsangabe

Written primarily for students in mechanical engineering programs and designed to give them the math preparation they need to succeed in higher level courses, Introduction to Numerical Methods introduces key theories, practical engineering-related examples, and relevant laboratory exercises to help students develop and test their knowledge.

The book covers errors in computation, solving nonlinear equations with numerical techniques, matrixes and vectors, and complex numbers. The material also includes an introduction to linear programming problems and instruction in probability and statistics. Many of the exercises in the book suggest the use of a Ti-83/Ti-84 calculator, and tips for using the calculator successfully are integrated into the text.

The second edition features significant updates throughout the text, including the addition of learning objectives at the start of each chapter, clarified and reorganized chapter exercises, and additional introductory and contextual information for key concepts to better frame students' understanding. This edition also has an appendix that includes a brief introduction of popular statistical software, Minitab.

Introduction to Numerical Methods is a well-organized, useful addition to undergraduate course work in engineering programs.
