MATLAB Numerical Calculations

MATLAB Numerical Calculations focuses on MATLAB capabilities to give readers numerical solutions to problems they are likely to encounter in their professional or scholastic life. It introduces them to the MATLAB language with practical hands-on instructions and results, allowing them to quickly achieve their goals. Starting with a look at basic MATLAB functionality with integers, rational numbers, and real and complex numbers, readers will learn how to solve equations in MATLAB and how to simplify the results. They will see how MATLAB incorporates vector, matrix and character variables, and functions thereof. MATLAB is a powerful tool used to define, manipulate, and simplify complex algebraic expressions. With MATLAB, readers can also work with ease in matrix algebra, making use of commands which allow them to find eigenvalues, eigenvectors, determinants, norms, and various matrix decompositions, among many other features. Lastly, readers will see how they can write scripts and use MATLAB to explore numerical analysis, finding approximations of integrals, derivatives, and numerical solutions of differential equations.
