Description
This book is designed to be a continuation of the textbook, Lectures on Applied Mathematics Part I: Linear Algebra which can also be downloaded at http://rbowen.engr.tamu.edu. This textbook evolved from my teaching an undergraduate Numerical Analysis course to Mechanical Engineering students at Texas A&M University. That course was one of the courses I was allowed to teach after my several years out of the classroom. It tries to utilize rigorous concepts in Linear Algebra in combination with the powerful computational tools of MATLAB to provide undergraduate students practical numerical analysis tools. It makes extensive use of MATLAB's graphics capabilities and, to a limited extent, its ability to animate the solutions of ordinary differential equations. It is not a textbook that tries to be comprehensive as a source of MATLAB information. It does contain a large number of links to MATLAB's extensive online resources. This information has been invaluable to me as this work was developed. The version of MATLAB used in the preparation of this textbook is MATLAB 2019b.
