商品簡介
Thoroughly updated and revised to reflect the latest version of MATLAB (version 6.x), this text aims to encourage engineers and scientists to use MATLAB to analyze various applications in mathematics and mechanics. Primarily intended for use as a reference or supplementary text in computationally oriented courses emphasizing applications, this volume requires a thorough grasp of Euclidean geometry, Newtonian mechanics, and some mathematics beyond calculus. The 13 chapters cover topics including elementary aspects of MATLAB graphics; methods for interpolation and numerical differentiation; Gauss integration with geometric property applications; dynamic response of linear second order systems; boundary value problems for partial differential equations; bending analysis of beams of general cross section; and nonlinear optimization applications.
