DESCRIPTION:
An extensive chapter on the finite element method covers enough practical aspects (including mesh generation) to enable the reader to numerically solve general elliptic boundary value problems. By presenting these topics in tandem, the author enables and encourages readers to perform their own computer experiments, leading them to a more profound understanding of differential equations.The text consists of three parts:Introduction to MATLAB and numerical preliminaries, which introduces readers to the software and itsgraphical capabilities and shows how to use it to write programsOrdinary Differential EquationsPartial Differential EquationsAll the tools needed to master using MATLAB to solve differential equations are provided and include:"Exercises for the Reader" that range from routine computations to more advanced conceptual and theoretical questions
He has published several articles in leading mathematical journals and has been an invited speaker at numerous lectures and conferences. ALEXANDER STANOYEVITCH, PhD, is a professor of mathematics and has served as department chairman at the University of Guam. He completed his graduate work in mathematical analysis at the University of Michigan–Ann Arbor. Dr. Stanoyevitch makes extensive use of MATLAB in most of the classes that he teaches.
In summary, here is an excellent, readable introduction to the elementary theory and practice of numerical mathematics." (CHOICE, September 2005) . "…reading it is a pleasure
Duy D. Dao said If you're in PDE's, you NEED this book. It's an expensive book for sure, so before you buy it, consider checking it out at the library.But it's well worth the investment and the time Dr. Stanoyevitch put into the book.I took an undergrad PDE's course a few years ago, and although I learned something, I felt like I didn't really understand it.But the problem was that I NEVER used ANY software to help visualize and understand what was going on.You NEED something lik. "Text looks like it's been photocopied" according to robert clarke. An expensive book poorly produced. Text looks like it's been photocopied. Also, it's outdated. (For example, you will read sentences like "insert a floppy disk in drive a:") However, the contents are worth putting up with the poor quality. I'd recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn Matlab in the context of DE/PDE. I had no familiarity with Matlab so needed an introduction, but wanted more than the usual tutorials. .
