Résumé

From the reviews:

"... An excellent reference on undergraduate mathematical computing."

American Mathematical Monthly

"... the book is worth buying if you want guidance in applying Maple and MATLAB to problems in the workplace..."

Computing Reviews

"... The presentation is unique, and extremely interesting. I was thrilled to read this text, and to learn the powerful problem-solving skills presented by these authors. I recommend the text highly, as a learning experience, not only to engineering students, but also to anyone interested in computation."

Mathematics of Computation

For this edition four chapters have been added. Some of the chapters of the previous editions were revised using new possibilities offered by Maple and MATLAB. Some interesting web pages related to Maple and MATLAB have been added in an appendix. Moreover, the editors have created a web page (www.SolvingProblems.inf.ethz.ch), where all Maple and MATLAB programs are available.

Written for:
Students in physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics, statistics, computer science, engineering and economy
