| Synopsis: |
By joining statistical analysis with computer-based numerical methods, this book bridges the gap between theory and practice with software-based examples, flow charts, and applications. Designed for engineering and math students as well as practicing engineers and scientists, the book has numerous examples with in-text solutions. It covers the sequence of mathematical topics needed by the majority of university courses, including calculus, error-handling, and ODEs; in addition, the book covers statistical computation and testing of hypothesis-usually omitted horn numerical methods texts. Using flow charts and computer program, the authors demonstrate how the mathematical concepts will be implemented in practical applications such as circuits, signal processing, and more. A CD-ROM with the source code (in C) for the in-text computer program includes calculation routines and simulations; in addition MATLAB applications and other third-party software provide practical applications of the material discussed in the text. |
