Product Description
A clear and concise guide to numerical methods and their application
Mastering numerical methods has never been easier than with Gilat/Subramaniam's Numerical Methods For Engineers and Scientists: An Introduction with Applications Using MATLAB(r). Uniquely accessible and concise, this book takes an innovative approach that integrates the study of numerical methods with hands-on programming practice using the popular MATLAB environment to solve realistic problems in engineering and science.
Ideal for both students and professionals who would like to become more adept at numerical methods, Numerical Methods For Engineers and Scientists familiarizes you with:
* The mathematical background and fundamentals of numerical methods
* Solving nonlinear equations
* Solving a system of linear equations
* Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors
* Function approximation, curve fitting, and interpolation
* Differentiation
* Integration
* First-order and higher-order ODEs
* Initial and boundary value problems
Using MATLAB's built-in functions as tools for solving problems, you will practice applying numerical methods for analysis of real-world problems. All the information is presented in manageable, step-by-step fashion, supported by a large number of annotated examples and end-of-chapter problems.
Lucid, carefully structured, and flexibly designed to fulfill a wide range of academic and practical needs, this book will help you develop the skills in numerical methods that will serve you well as a practicing engineer.

Typical Book, a few errors / typos. For OSU Students November 19, 2008
Matt S. Green
If you take ME250 @ OSU this is one of the two books you have to buy. There are slightly more errors than usual and if you ever get stuck / get really strange results I would look over the problems / statements because it is possible something is wrong that Gilat forgot to mention.
It does explain the concepts with examples fairly well. Gilat's lectures are a little unclear at times and this book helps alot. There are often programs and hand-calculated examples, which I find very helpful. The problems can be a little wordy / slightly unclear in the homework problems so writing out what you are solving for may be helpful.
Overall it is a pretty good book due to the examples and worked out problems.
