商品簡介
With a wide range of examples direct from industry and complete program listings that can be run immediately by copying into a text editors, this emphasizes the practical but also gives readers a solid foundations in underlying theoretical concepts. Kapuno (chemical engineering and computer programming, Cebu Institute of Technology, the Philippines) carefully guides readers through numerical methods, testing the algorithm through manual calculation, writing and debugging the algorithm, and validating the result through statistical analysis. He begins by reviewing C programming and numerical computation using C, physical properties in prediction and approximation, and applications using C, then provides an overview of C++ and MATLAB, moving on to MATLAB's functions for numerical computation and application, closing with information on interfacing MATLAB with C. This is designed for chemical engineering courses and also as a professional reference. Annotation c2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
