Elementary Numerical Mathematics for Programmers and Engineers

Authors: Gisbert Stoyan, Agnes Baran



Covers the basics of numerical methods, while avoiding the definition-theorem-proof style

Includes exercises in MATLAB

Provides numerical examples in order to promote reader comprehension

Presents material about practical error estimation

This book covers the basics of numerical methods, while avoiding the definition-theorem-proof style and instead focusing on numerical  examples and simple pseudo-codes.

The book is divided into ten chapters. Starting with floating number calculations and continuing up to ordinary differential equations, including "Euler backwards". The final chapter discusses practical error estimations. Exercises (including several in MATLAB) are provided at the end of each chapter. Suitable for readers with minimal mathematical knowledge, the book not only offers an elementary introduction to numerical mathematics for programmers and engineers but also provides supporting material for students and teachers of mathematics.
