Young T., Mohlenkamp M.J. Introduction to Numerical Methods and MatLAB Programming for Engineers

Athens, Ohio: Ohio University, 2011. — 171 p.These notes were developed by the first author in the process of teaching a course on applied numerical methods for Civil Engineering majors during 2002-2004 and was modified to include Mechanical Engineering in 2005. The materials have been periodically updated since then and underwent a major revision by the second author in 2006-2007.
The main goals of these lectures are to introduce concepts of numerical methods and introduce MatLAB in an Engineering framework. By this we do not mean that every problem is a real life engineering application, but more that the engineering way of thinking is emphasized throughout the discussion.MatLAB and Solving Equations
