Exercises in Computational Mathematics with MATLAB

Both authors have a long experience, at university and engineering school, in teaching numerical methods and numerical analysis. The authors started research collaboration a few years ago. They realized that they had complementary approaches to mathematical research and teaching. They think that combining these approaches gives an interesting perspective for an original book.Tom Lyche has received the Dagstuhl foundation’s John Gregory Memorial Award for "Outstanding contributions to geometric modeling" and is a member of Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters. He has published more than 85 papers in leading international journals and refereed proceedings, edited 14 books and is on the editorial board of 4 international journals.Jean-Louis Merrien is active as a researcher on subdivision and has published the book “Analyse Numerique avec Matlab”, Dunod, Paris 2007.

From the book reviews: "This is a very interesting and useful book for any advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate student on mathematics, statistics, computational physics, chemistry, and engineering, with a focus on numerical analysis and computational science. The main scope of this book is to provide students with the opportunity to apply numerical analysis and the well-known MATLAB to solve problems in their own specialties." (T. E. Simos, Computing Reviews, January, 2015) "This is an interesting new kind of book in the area of numerical analysis. ... It is widely accepted that solving exercises is essential to achieve a deeper understanding of a mathematical topic. Under this point of view the present book can be seen as an adequate vehicle to really get into the field of numerical analysis. ... the book can also serve as a rich source of exercises for university courses."
