Applied numerical methods with MATLAB for engineers and scientists / Steven C. Chapra. - 2nd ed. - Boston : McGraw-Hill Higher Education, c2008. - xx, 588 p. : ill. ; 25 cm.

Includes bibliographical references (p. 579) and index.

Still brief, but with the chapters that you wanted! Steven Chapra's new second edition, Applied Numerical Methods with MATLAB for Engineers and Scientists, is written for engineers and scientists who want to learn numerical problem solving. This text focuses on problem-solving (applications) rather than theory, using MATLAB, and is intended for Numerical Methods users; hence theory is included only to inform key concepts. The new second edition feature new material such as Numerical Differentiation and ODE's: Boundary-Value Problems. New to this edition -3 New Chapters have been added to the second edition to provide a more accessible presentation, while maintaining its student-friendly flavor. oOptimization oNumerical Differentiation oODES: Boundary-Value Problems -50% new or revised chapter and homework problems
