Introduction to Scientific Computing: A Matrix Vector Approach Using MATLAB

16 reviews
Charles F. Van Loan

Prentice Hall, 1996

Did anyone actually edit this book?
I find it appalling that in a college level textbook there would be spelling errors, problems that just don't make sense (i.e. a problem referring to making four plots but failing to say what they should be of), and untested matlab scripts. This book looks like it was written on a whim and doesn't really cover matlab, it just presents mathematical problems that should be solvable in matlab, but ...

Matrix Computations

26 reviews
Gene H Golub, Charles F Van Loan

North Oxford Academic, 1983

The bible of numerical linear algebra
This book is the standard reference for all numerical linear algebra. It is a graduate-level applied math textbook written by practicing professionals for practicing professionals. If you are new to the topic you would probably prefer something like James Demmel's Applied Numerical Linear Algebra. If you are interested in implementing the algorithms in this book, stop right now and first ...

Handbook for Matrix Computations (Frontiers in Applied Mathematics)
Charles Van Loan, Thomas F. Coleman

Society for Industrial Mathematics, 1987

Provides the user with a step-by-step introduction to Fortran 77, BLAS, LINPACK, and MATLAB. It is a reference that spans several levels of practical matrix computations with a strong emphasis on examples and ?hands on? experience.

Introduction to Computational Science (The Jones and Bartlett Series in Computational Science and Applied ...
Charles F. Van Loan

Jones & Bartlett Publishers, 1996

This text will help introductory computer science, math, science, and engineering students develop computational intuition and introductory programming skills. The interactions between mathematics, physical experimentation, and computer simulation are crucial to the scientific enterprise. Students need to be comfortable with these dimensions early in their studies to maximize their ability to solve problems in many disciplines. The ...
