- System of equations, linear and nonlinear, and application of SVD
- Eigenvalues and eigenvectors
- Differentiation and integration, proper and improper integrals
- IVP, System of ODE
- BVP, shooting methods for ODE and FDM for PDE
- Fitting functions to data, esp. nonlinear fitting
- Optimization, esp. GA
BVP: Boundary Value Problems
FDM: Finite Differences Methods
GA: Genetic Algorithm(s)
IVP: Initial Value Problems
ODE: Ordinary Differential Equation(s)
PDE: Partial Differential Equation(s)
SVD: Singular Value Decomposition
The book is full of engineering problems, esp. mechanical, which are solved using coding in MATLAB.
The MATLAB codes are available free of charge; you can download from this weblog.
