Numerical Computing with MATLAB is a lively textbook for an introductory course in numerical methods, MATLAB and technical computing.
Cleve B. Moler is Chairman and Chief Scientist at The MathWorks. Before abandoning academic life for the computer industry, Moler was a professor of mathematics and computer science for almost 20 years at the University of Michigan, Stanford University, and the University of New Mexico. He then spent five years with two computer hardware manufacturers, the Intel Hypercube organization and Ardent Computers. His professional interests center on numerical analysis and scientific computing. He is the original author of Matlab, as well as one of the authors of the Linpack and Eispack scientific libraries for matrix computation. He is also co-author of three textbooks on numerical methods. He has served SIAM as a journal editor, Council member, Vice-President, and, since 1996, a member of the Board of Trustees.
'Moler … tailors his book as a set of discrete and easy to read chapters explaining and depicting the power of MATLAB. [The book] demonstrates to the reader, student or professional users, what is possible in MATLAB in easy to swallow bites, yet preserving the power and elegance of the software. … Moler does an outstanding job covering the sweet-spot between mathematics and computer science using MATLAB. He demonstrates throughout his book the power and the flexibility of the software application, and how it can be used to make a scientist's job easier.' Art Seddighi, MAA Reviews
