Introduction to Numerical and Analytical Methods with MATLAB® for Engineers and Scientists

William Bober, PhD, received his BS in civil engineering from the City College of New York (CCNY), his MS in engineering science from Pratt Institute, and his PhD in engineering science and aerospace engineering from Purdue University. He worked as an associate engineering physicist in the Applied Mechanics Department at Cornell Aeronautical Laboratory in Buffalo, New York, was employed as an associate professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Rochester Institute of Technology, and is an associate professor at Florida Atlantic University (FAU), working in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and the Department of Civil Engineering at FAU.

"…provides in a very simple and clear way the first skills in computer programming under the MATLAB platform. The author uses various mathematical concepts (matrices, roots of equations, integration, ordinary differential equations, interpolation, etc.) in order to solve mathematical problems associated with engineering type problems. …the graphic of the work is fairly suggestive and assists a smooth learning."—Zentralblatt MATH 1284
