Engineering Analysis

<p>This book provides a concise introduction to numerical concepts in engineering analysis using FORTRAN QuickBASIC MATLAB and Mathematica to illustrate the examples. Discussions include:</p><li>matrix algebra and analysis<br> </li><li>solution of matrix equations<br> </li><li>methods of curve fit<br> </li><li>methods for finding the roots of polynomials and transcendental equations<br> </li><li>finite differences and methods for interpolation and numerical differentiation<br> </li><li>numerical computation of single and double integrals<br> </li><li>numerical solution of ordinary differential equations<br>Engineering Analysis:<br> </li><li>teaches readers to become proficient in FORTRAN or QuickBASIC programming to solve engineering problems<br> </li><li>provides an introduction to MATLAB and Mathematica enabling readers to write supplementary m-files for MATLAB and toolkits for Mathematica using C-like commands<br>The book emphasizes interactive operation in developing computer programs throughout enabling the values of the parameters involved in the problem to be entered by the user of the program via a keyboard.<br>In introducing each numerical method Engineering Analysis gives minimum mathematical derivations but provides a thorough explanation of computational procedures to solve a specific problem. It serves as an exceptional text for self-study as well as resource for general reference.</li>
