Numerical Methods for Engineers

The fifth edition of Numerical Methods for Engineers with Software and Programming Applications continues its tradition of excellence. The revision retains the successful pedagogy of the prior editions. Chapra and Canale's unique approach opens each part of the text with sections called Motivation, Mathematical Background, and Orientation, preparing the student for what is to come in a motivating and engaging manner. Each part closes with an Epilogue containing sections called Trade-Offs, Important Relationships and Formulas, and Advanced Methods and Additional References. Much more than a summary, the Epilogue deepens understanding of what has been learned and provides a peek into more advanced methods. Users will find use of software packages, specifically MATLAB and Excel with VBA. This includes material on developing MATLAB m-files and VBA macros. Also, many, many more challenging problems are included. The expanded breadth of engineering disciplines covered is especially evident in the problems, which now cover such areas as biotechnology and biomedical engineeringMany of the problems have been revised for this edition. |Users will have access to an Online Learning Center which will house PPT slides of all text figures, M-Files, general textbook information and more! |Available to instructors only, the detailed solutions for all text problems will be delivered via CD-ROM, in our new, Complete Online Solutions Manual Organization System (COSMOS). |Challenging problems drawn from all engineering disciplines are included in the text. |Chapra is know for his clear explanations and elegantly rendered examples|The text includes a helpful appendix chapter, Getting Started with MATLAB
