This textbook is an introduction to Scientific Computing, in which several numerical methods for the computer solution of certain classes of mathematical problems are illustrated. The authors show how to compute the zeros or the integrals of continuous functions, solve linear systems, approximate functions by polynomials and construct accurate approximations for the solution of ordinary and partial differential equations. To make the presentation concrete and appealing, the programming environments Matlab and Octave, which is freely distributed, are adopted as faithful companions. The book contains the solutions to several problems posed in exercises and examples, often originating from specific applications. A specific section is devoted to subjects which were not addressed in the book and contains the bibliographical references for a more comprehensive treatment of the material. The second edition features many new problems and examples, as well as more numerical methods for linear and nonlinear systems and ordinary and partial differential equations. This book is presently being translated or has appeared in the following languages: Italian, German, French, Chinese and Spanish. Reviews for "Scientific Computing with MATLAB" - 1st edition: " ... Scientific Computing with MATLAB is written in a clear and concise style, figures, tables and formula boxes complement the explanations... The whole book is an invitation, if not a request, of the authors to the reader to play with MATLAB, apply its powerful menagerie of functions to solve the given (or own) problems - in brief, supervised learning by doing .... is a stimulating introductory textbook about numerical methods that successfully combines mathematical theory with programming experience..." Anselm A.C. Horn, Journal of Molecular Modeling 2004 "... An excellent addition to academic libraries and university bookstores, this book will be useful for self-study and as a complement to other MATLAB-based books. Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals." S.T. Karris, Choice 2003

The improved second edition of this book provides the mathematical foundations of numerical methods. It demonstrates their performance on examples, exercises and real-life applications using the MATLAB software environment.

Preface to the First Edition This textbook is an introduction to Scienti?c Computing. We will illustrate several numerical methods for the computer solution of c- tain classes of mathematical problems that cannot be faced by paper and pencil. We will show how to compute the zeros or the integrals of continuous functions, solve linear systems, approximate functions by polynomials and construct accurate approximations for the solution of di?erential equations. With this aim, in Chapter 1 we will illustrate the rules of the game thatcomputersadoptwhenstoringandoperatingwith realandcomplex numbers, vectors and matrices. In order to make our presentation concrete and appealing we will 1 adopt the programming environment MATLAB as a faithful c- panion. We will gradually discover its principal commands, statements and constructs. We will show how to execute all the algorithms that we introduce throughout the book. This will enable us to furnish an - mediate quantitative assessment of their theoretical properties such as stability, accuracy and complexity. We will solve several problems that will be raisedthrough exercises and examples, often stemming from s- ci?c applications.

This textbook is an introduction to Scientific Computing, in which several numerical methods for the computer-based solution of certain classes of mathematical problems are illustrated. The authors show how to compute the zeros, the extrema, and the integrals of continuous functions, solve linear systems, approximate functions using polynomials and construct accurate approximations for the solution of ordinary and partial differential equations. To make the format concrete and appealing, the programming environments Matlab and Octave are adopted as faithful companions. The book contains the solutions to several problems posed in exercises and examples, often originating from important applications. At the end of each chapter, a specific section is devoted to subjects which were not addressed in the book and contains bibliographical references for a more comprehensive treatment of the material.
From the review:
".... This carefully written textbook, the third English edition, contains substantial new developments on the numerical solution of differential equations. It is typeset in a two-color design and is written in a style suited for readers who have mathematics, natural sciences, computer sciences or economics as a background and who are interested in a well-organized introduction to the subject."

Scientific Computing with MATLAB and Octave (Texts in Computational Science and Engineering, 2)

Now in its fourth edition, this volume collates an array of material on using MATLAB and Octave in science computing, offering hundreds of examples, solved exercises, and programs that will greatly extend the range and abilities of the software’s users.

Ce livre a pour but de présenter les fondements théoriques et méthodologiques de l'analyse numérique. Une attention toute particulière est portée sur les concepts de stabilité, précision et complexité des algorithmes. Les méthodes modernes relatives aux thèmes suivants sont presentées et analysées en détail : résolution des systèmes lineaires et non linéaires, approximation polynomiale, optimisation, intégration numérique, polynômes orthogonaux, transformations rapides, équations différentielles ordinaires. Les techniques presentées sont illustrées par de nombreux tableaux et figures. Beaucoup d'exemples et de contre-exemples sont proposés pour permettre au lecteur de développer son sens critique. Une caractéristique principale du livre réside dans l'abondance des programmes MATLAB qui accompagnent toutes les méthodes numériques présentées et qui les illustrent par des applications concrètes. Le lecteur détient ainsi tous les outils pour acquérir de solides connaissances théoriques et les appliquer directement sur ordinateur. Cet ouvrage s'adresse aux étudiants du second cycle des universités, aux élèves des écoles d'ingénieurs et, plus généralement, à toutes les personnes qui pratiquent le calcul scientifique.

Ce livre constitue une introduction au Calcul Scientifique. Son objectif est de présenter des méthodes numériques permettant de résoudre avec un ordinateur certains problèmes mathématiques qui ne peuvent être traités simplement avec un papier et un crayon. Les questions classiques du Calcul Scientifique sont abordées: la recherche des zéros ou le calcul d'intégrales de fonctions continues, la résolution de systèmes linéaires, l'approximation de fonctions par des polynômes, la résolution approchée d'équations différentielles. La présentation de ces méthodes est rendue vivante par le recours systématique aux environnements de programmation Matlab et Octave dont les principales commandes sont introduites progressivement. Tous les algorithmes sont présentés sous la forme de programmes. Ceci permet de vérifier très rapidement leurs propriétés théoriques, en particulier la stabilité, la précision et la complexité. La résolution de divers problèmes, souvent motivés par des applications concrètes, fait l'objet de nombreux exemples et exercices. À la fin de chaque chapitre, une section présente des aspects plus avancés et fournit des indications bibliographiques qui permettront au lecteur d'appronfondir les connaissances acquises. Le dernier chapitre est consacré à la correction des exercices proposés tout au long du livre

This book stems from the long standing teaching experience of the authors in the courses on Numerical Methods in Engineering and Numerical Methods for Partial Differential Equations given to undergraduate and graduate students of Politecnico di Milano (Italy), EPFL Lausanne (Switzerland), University of Bergamo (Italy) and Emory University (Atlanta, USA). It aims at introducing students to the numerical approximation of Partial Differential Equations (PDEs). One of the difficulties of this subject is to identify the right trade-off between theoretical concepts and their actual use in practice. With this collection of examples and exercises we try to address this issue by illustrating "academic" examples which focus on basic concepts of Numerical Analysis as well as problems derived from practical application which the student is encouraged to formalize in terms of PDEs, analyze and solve. The latter examples are derived from the experience of the authors in research project developed in collaboration with scientists of different fields (biology, medicine, etc.) and industry. We wanted this book to be useful both to readers more interested in the theoretical aspects and those more concerned with the numerical implementation.

Questo testo è concepito per i corsi delle Facoltà di Ingegneria e di Scienze. Esso affronta tutti gli argomenti tipici della Matematica Numerica, spaziando dal problema di risolvere sistemi di equazioni lineari e non lineari a quello di approssimare una funzione, di calcolare i suoi minimi, le sue derivate ed il suo integrale definito fino alla risoluzione di equazioni differenziali ordinarie e alle derivate parziali con metodi alle differenze finite ed agli elementi finiti. Un capitolo iniziale conduce lo studente ad un rapido ripasso degli argomenti dell'Analisi Matematica e dell'Algebra Lineare di uso frequente nel volume e ad una introduzione ai linguaggi MATLAB e Octave. Al fine di rendere maggiormente incisiva la presentazione e fornire un riscontro quantitativo immediato alla teoria vengono implementati in linguaggio MATLAB e Octave tutti gli algoritmi che via via si introducono. Vengono inoltre proposti numerosi esercizi, tutti risolti per esteso, ed esempi, anche con riferimento ad applicazioni in vari ambiti scientifici. Questa sesta edizione si differenzia dalle precedenti per l’aggiunta di nuovi sviluppi, di nuovi esempi relativi ad applicazioni di interesse reale e di svariati esercizi con relative soluzioni.
