    Book Description

    Still brief - but with the chapters that you wanted - Steven Chapra’s new second edition is written for engineers and scientists who want to learn numerical problem solving. This text focuses on problem-solving (applications) rather than theory, using MATLAB, and is intended for Numerical Methods users; hence theory is included only to inform key concepts. The new second edition feature new material such as Numerical Differentiation and ODE's: Boundary-Value Problems.

    4 out of 5 stars extensive problem sets.......2005-01-08

    Moin offers a first course in numerical analysis. Mostly directed at engineering students who have some computer programming background. Though extensive experience in this is not needed.

    Naturally, there is an emphasis on solving differential and integral equations. So old favourites like Runge-Kutta and trapezoidal means make their appearance for the latter, for example. There is also a more advanced treatment of how to tackle partial differential equations.

    The problem sets are a good feature of the book. Some may take considerable time to code and debug, but hopefully will help you gain insight into what the author is explaining.

    5 out of 5 stars Great book for MATLAB beginners.......2004-10-02

    This is the best book I have read about MATLAB. It covers as many topics as possible for beginners. It is written in a simple and clear format. The examples given in the book are explained step by step with the commands printed out. The summaries, tables and important notes are also listed out for the learner easy to understand. In conclusion, it is a well organized book and reference.

    5 out of 5 stars Good for the basics.......2004-07-02

    Most of my needs are fairly simple: some arithmetic, some algebra, some graphs, all as part of what I was really working on. Matlab is a helpful tool with legible syntax, and gives a good introduction to the first few dozen things I needed.

    Matlab is very extensible. There are lots of specialty packages, GUI extensions, and hooks for custom programming. Fine. That's way past what I want right now. This gets me into Matlab and gets my job done.

    Maybe experts want something more, but this is a good first book for anyone already familiar with programming.

    5 out of 5 stars Good book for control engineers........2003-11-17

    Matlab is a powerful simulation tool for control engineers. This is a good book for enough practical examples and easy read. This book gives enough background for any simulations in control engineering. For implementation with microchip "PowerPC Programming Handbook" is the only other book you need. Having minimum necessary theoretical background and these books, you can make any electro mechanical systems work.

    5 out of 5 stars The best Matlab book available........2003-01-29

    Version 6 of Matlab is improved in graphic use interface and efficiency of computation as well as compatibility with other languages like C++. "Mastering MATLAB 6" is the best choice of book on Matlab for its detailed coverage on graphics and interface with other programming languages. Only weakness of Matlab is its capability of analytical computation, and it is preferred to use Maple for analytical calculation. The most respected programming book on Maple is "Maple Programming Guide". "Mastering MATLAB 6" and "Maple Programming Guide" are the investment which you will not regret.

    5 out of 5 stars Wonderfully thorough reference.......2002-09-28

    This book is exactly what I've been looking for. It's a fantastic reference for all that is Matlab. I'm a graduate student who does numerical methods in Matlab frequently and to have a book like this handy is a real help.

    4 out of 5 stars multigrid explained.......2006-12-02

    as opposed to what another reviewer states, this book has nothing to do with grid computing. instead, it presents a mathematical technique for solving linear systems of equations (with the focus on large, sparse systems arising from the discretization of PDEs). lots of math inside, there's nothing whatsoever for the layman here. the introduction to the basic concepts is quite thorough, and they cover some advanced topics like adaptive multigrid, algebraic multigrid (an extension of MG to general linear systems) and application of MG in computational fluid dynamics. overall, a good book, but I strongly recommend Briggs' and Van Emden Henson's "Multigrid Tutorial" text as a 1st read before tackling this book. the reader is assumed to be familiar with linear algebra (with a focus on matrix calculus and classical iterative methods). to fully understand the later chapters, more advanced exposure to let's say CFD is needed.

    4 out of 5 stars for actual programmers/scientists.......2005-01-13

    IBM and other companies have been promoting a vision of grid computing. Books have been written, including "Grid Computing" by Joseph and Fellenstein, that describe this approach at a high level. Suitable for system administrators and managers.

    By contrast, this book by Trottenberg et al is aimed directly at the scientists and engineers who might be actually writing software for their problems. The mathematical treatment is looser than that in a pure maths book. It's at the typical level for a physic or engineering text. The intent here is not in proving theorems, but in applying them to real world problems.

    Specifically, for solving PDEs and linear systems.

    5 out of 5 stars Excelent book to beginners of Matlab.......2005-04-01

    With this book I learnt to use Matlab. Matlab was always a nightmare for me, because I don't recognize, how Matlab works because I prefered to programming with C++. When I read this book, I understood all the things that before I didn't understand. The way the authors wrote the book is the key of the success of this book, because they're using a easy form to explain all the topics. I also recommend the next book of them, to the v6. and v.7.

    5 out of 5 stars Very good reference.......2001-08-11

    I'm an experience programmer and I learned Matlab from this book but I never really read it. Typically, I used it as a reference, looking up a function when I needed it. I'm just amazed that after 1 year (of full time matlab programming, I wrote a matlab toolbox myself), I'm still using the book. You find what you're looking for easylly from the index. It's clear, short but very deep and detailled and the chapter are cleverly organized. That's the best programming book I've been using. I would like all of them to be like that.

    3 out of 5 stars Mastering MATLAB 5 Lacks Depth.......2001-06-20

    This book might be great for new users to MATLAB, but even then, I am not sure that it is much more help then the text or the help files that come with the software. I was hoping for a reference that went in to more detail than the help files and covered more advanced topics or commands.

    3 out of 5 stars Not much help.......2001-05-22

    Everyone has their own skill set and knowledge base, but, I didn't find this to be very useful. I am an engineering student with a decent college math background and several C++ courses under my belt, I didn't find this text to be helpful at all in learning Matlab. I ended up doing much better reading the on-line help, if you have a good internet connect, there isn't much point using anything else in my opinion.

    4 out of 5 stars Good introduction to Matlab........2000-07-13

    This book is a great complete introduction to Matlab 5 and for novice users. The sections on Handle Graphics and Graphical User Interface (GUI) development are very useful for someone starting GUI work in Matlab. Not useful for more advanced users of Matlab. Overall the text is easy to read and understand, and a good reference. Well worth the price.

    Book Description

    As the availability of powerful computer resources has grown over the last three decades, the art of computation of electromagnetic (EM) problems has also grown - exponentially. Despite this dramatic growth, however, the EM community lacked a comprehensive text on the computational techniques used to solve EM problems. The first edition of Numerical Techniques in Electromagnetics filled that gap and became the reference of choice for thousands of engineers, researchers, and students. The Second Edition of this bestselling text reflects the continuing increase in awareness and use of numerical techniques and incorporates advances and refinements made in recent years. Most notable among these are the improvements made to the standard algorithm for the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method and treatment of absorbing boundary conditions in FDTD, finite element, and transmission-line-matrix methods. The author also added a chapter on the method of lines. Numerical Techniques in Electromagnetics continues to teach readers how to pose, numerically analyze, and solve EM problems, give them the ability to expand their problem-solving skills using a variety of methods, and prepare them for research in electromagnetism. Now the Second Edition goes even further toward providing a comprehensive resource that addresses all of the most useful computation methods for EM problems.

    3 out of 5 stars Not detailed enough + some typos.......2005-08-23

    This book is a decent overview of numerical techniques in electromagnetics (and in general). Unfortunately, I don't think it goes into enough detail for you to really understand fully the different methods. Most of the really difficult (but fundamental) mathematics is just glossed over, this is done with PML in chapter 3 and calculus of variations in chapter 4. In short, I don't think this is a good self-study book, and I certainly wouldn't expect to be able to write a practical numerical EM solver based on the info in this book. On the plus side, there are plenty of Fortran and C programs in this book given as examples, and there are many techniques covered (FDTD, MoM, FEM, TLM, Monte Carlo, method of lines). I wish this book spent more time on the really important methods (FDTD and FEM) and less on the more obscure ones (TLM, method of lines, etc.) There are a few glaring typos in this book that I've noticed, e.g., in figure captions. This is annoying and makes me wonder if there are more subtle errors elsewhere in the text. In all, this might be a good book for you, depending on your needs.

    4 out of 5 stars grad level text.......2005-04-10

    Can't design motors without a little computer-aided engineering ...this is a good overview of the theory of subjects such as finite element analysis, boundary element analysis, finite difference analysis, etc. I used this text in my graduate level course on the subject.

    4 out of 5 stars good book.......2002-05-05

    this book is nice....there are so many
    things covered there....that it is not
    possible for the author to go too deep into
    solution of the wave equation itself...i would
    have loved a better introduction to the field
    equations...something i found surprisin given
    that it is a book in EM.

    But, even if you can catch up and apply a
    few of the concepts that he lays out for you
    in the book you have learnt something. and the
    book is a worthy buy.

    Book Description

    Satellite navigation receivers are used to receive, process, and decode space-based navigation signals, such as those provided by the GPS constellation of satellites. There is an increasing need for a unified open platform that will enable enhanced receiver development and design, as well as cost-effective testing procedures for various applications. This book and companion DVD provide hands-on exploration of new technologies in this rapidly growing field.

    One of the unique features of the work is the interactive approach used, giving readers the ability to construct their own Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) receivers. To construct such a reconfigurable receiver with a wide range of applications, the authors discuss receiver architecture based on software-defined radio (SDR) techniques. The presentation unfolds in a systematic, user-friendly style and goes from the basics to cutting-edge research.

    Additional features and topics include:

    * Presentation of basic signal structures used in GPS and Galileo, the European satellite navigation system

    * Design and implementation of a GPS signal generator

    * Presentation and analysis of different methods of signal acquisition—serial search; parallel-frequency space search; and parallel-code phase search—as well as code/carrier tracking and navigation data decoding

    * A complete GPS software receiver implemented using MATLAB code as well as GPS and GIOVE-A signal records—available on the companion cross-platform DVD—allowing readers to change various parameters and immediately see their effects

    * MATLAB-based exercises

    * A hands-on method of testing the material covered in the book: supplementary front-end hardware equipment—which may be purchased at http://ccar.colorado.edu/gnss—enables readers working on a Windows or LINUX system to generate real-world data by converting analog signals to digital signals

    * Supplementary course material for instructors available at http://gps.aau.dk/softgps

    * Bibliography of recent results and comprehensive index

    The book is aimed at applied mathematicians, electrical engineers, geodesists, and graduate students. It may be used as a textbook in various GPS technology and signal processing courses, or as a self-study reference for anyone working with satellite navigation receivers.

      Book Description

      This is a textbook for advanced undergraduate and first-year graduate students in mechanical, aerospace, and chemical engineering. The book emphasizes understanding CFD through physical principles and examples. The author follows a consistent philosophy of control volume formulation of the fundamental laws of fluid motion and energy transfer, and introduces a novel notion of 'smoothing pressure correction' for solution of flow equations on collocated grids within the framework of the well-known SIMPLE algorithm. The subject matter is developed by considering pure conduction/diffusion, convective transport in 2-dimensional boundary layers and in fully elliptic flow situations and phase-change problems in succession. The book includes chapters on discretization of equations for transport of mass, momentum and energy on Cartesian, structured curvilinear and unstructured meshes, solution of discretised equations, numerical grid generation and convergence enhancement. Practicing engineers will find this particularly useful for reference and for continuing education.

      5 out of 5 stars Fantastic introductory treatment of CFD.......2007-04-27

      This book is a must-read for any practicing engineer who needs to come up to speed on the basic techniques of CFD quickly. It provides enough information for one to start writing code to model operating equipment with confidence. A second excellent book on this topic is referred to by Date as well: "Numerical Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow" by Patankar.

      5 out of 5 stars Excellent book for both students and practitioners.......2005-10-18

      During my final year project in CFD at IIT, I went through a number of books on Introduction to the topic. Among all of them, I think this is the best book from the point of view of students. This is an exceptional book for an introductory course in CFD. This book helps a student make the transition from analytical solutions to numerical methods easier. A lot of books on the subject tend to lose the physics part and divert to numerical analysis totally. To familiarize the reader with grid generation, both structured and unstructured grids have been covered in detail. Sufficient example code has also been provided in the appendix.

      Book Description

      Pocket Book of Integrals and Mathematical Formulas, a revision of a very successful pocket book, provides a handy desk-top reference for engineers and scientists seeking essential formulas, concepts, and definitions. Topics range from pre-calculus to vector analysis and from Fourier transforms to statistics. This third edition contains: · A new chapter on business and financial mathematics - providing information on progressions, especially geometric progressions, which is the basis for many formulas related to annuities, growth of funds, and interest payments · Additional topics in statistics - including sample size calculations for testing differences and proportions Featuring numerical tables of probability distributions, the book also includes · Discussions on formula listings and differential equations · Fourier series · Laplace and z-transforms · Vector analysis · Orthogonal polynomials Many other handbooks go too far in their attempts, essentially mimicking larger comprehensive texts they try to summarize. The result is a reference less detailed than the full texts and too big to be conveniently portable. Most scientists do not carry them. Through a careful selection of topics and detail, Pocket Book of Integrals and Mathematical Formulas truly meets the needs of engineers and scientists - a convenient, usable supplementary text providing worked examples where most necessary. Its comprehensive information and convenient arrangement of tables makes it an essential and easy to use reference.

      3 out of 5 stars Good, But Needs Correction, More Info.......2007-03-09

      Pricey, considering the book needs better editing. As one example: the index lists the table of derivatives on the wrong page. It needs more info on a variety of subjects, it's almost too general.

      All it's really good for is to have something you can carry in your backback for basic consultation, better than Schaum's bulky paperback. Beyond that, use the CRC manual, Gradsteyn & Reyshzik's tables, or engineering specific handbooks.

      4 out of 5 stars handy reference.......2007-01-04

      good for those nagging little identies and theorms you never thought you would actually use. the intergral tables are useful for basic integration, but for advanced integration I would suggestion something else (namely Schaum's) to do the heavy lifting.

      4 out of 5 stars Helpfull little book.......2002-03-27

      This Book is good for general to advance caluations in geometry to advanced calculus and differential equations. Help in Bussiness and other areas too. Very good book for engineers and physics to math majors!!

      4 out of 5 stars Handy little reference book........2001-03-10

      I've had the 2nd edition of this book for about six years and I can't tell you how many times I have used it. When I was in college, it came in very handy with the tables of derivatives and integrals, along with all those trig identities. After I graduated and started working, it became a great reference for those geometry equations that you start to forget or methods for solving multiple equations. It's also compact, so it will easily fit in a briefcase or a drawer. I would definately recommend it to anyone looking for a good, quick, easy to use math reference.
