Insight Through Computing: A MATLAB Introduction to Computational Science and Engineering 1st Edition by Charles F. Van Loan (PDF)

Description

This introduction to computer-based problem-solving using the MATLAB® environment is highly recommended for students wishing to learn the concepts and develop the programming skills that are fundamental to computational science and engineering (CSE). Through a ‘teaching by examples’ approach, the authors pose strategically chosen problems to help first-time programmers learn these necessary concepts and skills. Each section formulates a problem and then introduces those new MATLAB® language features that are necessary to solve it. This approach puts problem-solving and algorithmic thinking first and syntactical details second. Each solution is followed by a ‘talking point’ that concerns some related, larger issue associated with CSE. Collectively, the worked examples, talking points, and 300+ homework problems build intuition for the process of discretization and an appreciation for dimension, inexactitude, visualization, randomness, and complexity. This sets the stage for further coursework in CSE areas.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Looks quick old.

⭐This book was in very good condition and is useful in learning how to compute using Matlab but there are no solutions.

⭐Excellent book. The problems are completely worked out in detail. Unlike other books from high end publishing houses, this book really provides a great educational insight to students on the power of computing for all engineering fields. The authors seem to have worked out most of the problems and examples in their own course at Cornell and they are flawless
