[Jaan Kiusalaas] Numerical Methods in Engineering (BookFi)-
Numerical Methods in Engineering with MATLAB R is a text for engineering students and a reference for practicing engineers. The choice of numerical methods was based on their relevance to engineering problems. Every method is discussed thoroughly and illustrated with problems involving both hand computation and programming. MATLAB M-files accompany each method and are available on the book Web site. This code is made simple and easy to understand by avoiding complex bookkeeping schemes while maintaining the essential features of the method. MATLAB was chosen as the example language because of its ubiquitous use in engineering studies and practice. This new edition includes the new MATLAB anonymous functions, which allow the programmer to embed functions into the program rather than storing them as separate files. Other changes include the addition of rational function interpolation in Chapter 3, the addition of Ridder's method in place of Brent's method in Chapter 4, and the addition of the downhill simplex method in place of the Fletcher-Reeves method of optimization in

Numerical algorithms for scientific and engineering applications
Journal of Computational and Applied Mathematics, 2017
Numerical algorithms for scientific and engineering applications The development of the modern society depends crucially on the successful solution of numerous problems, which are often both very challenging and extremely difficult. Scientists and engineers are using complicated and robust mathematical models in the attempts to resolve successfully these problems. Many physical and chemical processes must be incorporated correctly and very carefully in these models in order to increase the reliability and the applicability of the obtained results. This leads to the treatment of complex mathematical tasks, described very often with systems of non-linear partial differential equations. In most of the cases, it is not possible to find the exact solution of these systems. Therefore, one must use different numerical algorithms in the treatment of the discretized systems and, furthermore, to run the selected algorithms on high-speed computers. Many people believe that the modern fast supercomputers will always enable them to resolve successfully even the largest and the most complicated tasks. This is unfortunately not necessarily true. Arthur Jaffe predicted, [1], more than thirty years ago, the fact that the scientists and the engineers will always or at least very often have great problems with the treatment of their models on computers. He wrote in 1984 that: ''Although the fastest computers can execute millions of operations in one second, they are always too slow. This may seem a paradox, but the heart of the matter is: the bigger and better computers become, the larger are the problems scientists and engineers want to solve''.

Numerical analysis is the area of mathematics and computer science that creates, analyzes, and implements algorithms for solving numerically the problems of continuous mathematics. Such problems originate generally from real-world applications of algebra, geometry and calculus, and they involve variables which vary continuously; these problems occur throughout the natural sciences, social sciences, engineering, medicine, and business. During the past half-century, the growth in power and availability of digital computers has led to an increasing use of realistic mathematical models in science and engineering, and numerical analysis of increasing sophistication has been needed to solve these more detailed mathematical models of the world. The formal academic area of numerical analysis varies from quite theoretical mathematical studies (e.g. see [5]) to computer science issues (e.g. see [1], [11]). With the growth in importance of using computers to carry out numerical procedures in solving mathematical models of the world, an area known as scientific computing or computational science has taken shape during the 1980s and 1990s. This area looks at the use of numerical analysis from a computer science perspective; see [20], [16]. It is concerned with using the most powerful tools of numerical analysis, computer graphics, symbolic mathematical computations, and graphical user interfaces to make it easier for a user to set up, solve, and interpret complicated mathematical models of the real world.
