Advanced Mathematics and Mechanics Applications Using MATLAB

by David Halpern, Howard B. Wilson, Louis H. Turcotte

Overview

Advanced Mathematics and Mechanics Applications Using MATLAB, Third Edition features extensive revisions that bring this best-selling text in line with MATLAB 6.x, especially its graphics and animation capabilities. It incorporates material on time dependent solutions of linear partial differential equations, a chapter on eigenvalue problems, and more than 300 pages of MATLAB solutions to important applications. The authors provide an abundance of additional physical examples related to heat conduction, inviscid fluid flow, geometrical properties, stress analysis, and multi-dimensional optimizations. The source code for all of the programs presented is freely available for download from the CRC website.

Editorial Reviews

"Material [in this book] can serve as a valuable resource for the AEM course that provides a brief exposure to numerics. It can also supplement the more heavily numerical course."
