A good book to help you code numerical methods in MATLAB

I use this book. It is very short, but well written. If you want to learn numerical methods - Use Burden & Faires. But this book is for the end - user of the MATLAB numerical methods. It also gives some background info on these methods.

Great Book

This is a well-written book that provides a nice, concise introduction to numerical methods. As with other books by this author, it is very student friendly and should be particularly useful for people, like myself, who use it for self-study. I was not familiar with MATLAB prior to using the book. This book made it relatively easy for me to pick up the fundamentals and then implement numerical solutions. As a computer scientist,...
