Preface
This text provides an introduction to the numerical methods that are typically
encountered (and used) in science and engineering undergraduate courses. The
material is developed in tandem with MATLAB which allows rapid prototyping
and testing of the methods. The package MATLAB (matrix laboratory) pro-
vides an environment in which students can learn to programme and explore
the structure of the numerical methods. The methods included here are of a
basic nature and only rely on material which should have been explored prior
to the first year undergraduate stage.
The methods presented are supplemented with a set of tasks at the end
of each chapter (full solutions of these are given in Appendix C). The tasks
are introduced in such a way as to allow students to explore the topics as
they evolve. Some are of a mathematical nature, but in the main they involve
manipulating codes which are given in the text of the chapter (or section).
Those tasks which we regard as being harder are marked with an asterisk.
Throughout the text MATLAB commands appear using this font in the text.
In the main the names of MATLAB commands reflect the commands role. We
have taken particular care to highlight many of the problems that occur with
interpreting the syntax of MATLAB commands. In Appendix B we provide
a glossary of all MATLAB commands within the text and short examples of
how these commands can be used. Reference is made to the comprehensive
help facility within MATLAB: however examples are given which are similar
to those given in other places within the text.
Throughout the text we derive the numerical techniques we use, but also
emphasise that MATLAB’s rich vocabulary provides commands for perform-
ing most of the fundamental tasks encountered in numerical methods. This
approach serves to introduce students to the methods and also provides an
