Wiley An Introduction to Numerical Analysis for Electrical and Computer Engineers

Review "Zarkowski (Univ. of Alberta) offers this book as a general, advanced undergraduate work in numerical analysis, containing all of the usual topics." (CHOICE, October 2004) Product Description This book is an introduction to numerical analysis and intends to strike a balance between analytical rigor and the treatment of particular methods for engineering problemsEmphasizes the earlier stages of numerical analysis for engineers with real-life problem-solving solutions applied to computing and engineeringIncludes MATLAB oriented examplesAn Instructor's Manual presenting detailed solutions to all the problems in the book is available from the Wiley editorial department. From the Inside Flap An Engineer's Guide to Numerical AnalysisTo properly function in today's work environment, engineers require a working familiarity with numerical analysis. This book provides that necessary background, striking a balance between analytical rigor and an applied approach focusing on methods particular to the solving of engineering problems.An Introduction to Numerical Analysis for Electrical and Computer Engineers gives electrical and computer engineering students their first exposure to numerical analysis and serves as a refresher for professionals as well. Emphasizing the earlier stages of numerical analysis for engineers with real-life solutions for computing and engineering applications, the book:Forms a logical bridge between first courses in matrix/linear algebra and the more sophisticated methods of signal processing and control system coursesIncludes MATLAB®-oriented examples, with a quick introduction to MATLAB for those who need itProvides detailed proofs and derivations for many key resultsSpecifically tailored to the needs of computer and electrical engineers, this is the resource engineers have long needed in order to master an area of mathematics critical to their profession.
