Reviews

Praise for the First Edition:"… this volume has many interesting cases to illustrate the power of MATLAB."
—Bulletin of the Belgian Mathematical Society, Volume 20, 2013"The reader’s ability to tackle mathematical problems can be significantly enhanced after reading this book. … This book can be used as a reference text for almost all college students, both undergraduates and graduates, in almost all disciplines that require certain levels of applied mathematics. This book will be a good desktop reference for many who have graduated from college and are still involved in solving mathematical problems in their jobs. A lot of MATLAB function designed by the authors and some third-party free toolboxes are also presented in the book."
