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."
