《Numerical Methods for Engineers》(2014)是由McGraw-Hill出版的一本工程数学领域的经典教材,详细介绍了数值方法在工程问题中的应用。
Instructors love Numerical Methods for Engineers because it simplifies teaching. Students appreciate the books clarity and examples, which are tailored to their needs. The text covers a wide range of applications across all engineering disciplines. The sixth edition maintains the effective instructional methods from previous editions.
Chapra and Canales introduce each part with sections called Motivation, Mathematical Background, and Orientation. These sections prepare students for upcoming problems in an engaging way. Each section concludes with an Epilogue that includes Trade-Offs, Important Relationships and Formulas, and Advanced Methods and Additional References. The Epilogue goes beyond a simple summary to deepen understanding of the material covered.
This edition features approximately 20 percent new or revised problems. These updates reflect expanded coverage across various engineering disciplines such as biotechnology and biomedical engineering. Users will find guidance on using software packages like MATLAB, Excel with VBA, and Mathcad in their studies. This includes information about developing MATLAB m-files and VBA macros.
