The focus of this series is general topics, and applications about, and for, engineers
and scientists on a wide array of applications, methods and advances. Most titles cover
subjects such as professional development, education, and study skills, as well as basic
introductory undergraduate material and other topics appropriate for a broader and less
technical audience.

Preface
Numerical analysis is the branch of mathematics that is used to find approximations to
difficult problems such as finding the roots of nonlinear equations, integration involving
complex expressions, and solving differential equations for which analytical solutions do
not exist. It is applied to a wide variety of disciplines such as business, all fields of
engineering, computer science, education, geology, meteorology, and others.
Many good books are written about the numerical analysis theories. In this book, we
don’t focus on the theories of numerical analysis. Instead we focus on solving numerical
analysis problems with the aid of tools that MATLAB/Simulink provides for us. This book
can accompany and complete any standard theoretical textbook on numerical analysis. The
prerequisite for this book is a first course on numerical analysis, and no prior knowledge
of MATLAB/Simulink is assumed.
This book is written primarily for students of engineering and science. However, it can
be useful for anyone who wants to solve a numeric problem with MATLAB/Simulink.
For instance, master or Ph.D. students can use the material presented here to solve the
numerical problems of their thesis or papers. All of the material presented here can be
covered in one semester (14 weeks) with 3 h per week.
This book is composed of 11 chapters. Here is a brief summary of each chapters:
Chapter 1 is an introduction to MATLAB. In this chapter, you will learn how to
do basic calculations with MATLAB. Basic matrix operations, trigonometric, hyper-
bolic, logarithmic, exponential, and many other important functions are studied in this
chapter.
Chapter 2 shows how MATLAB can be used for symbolic calculations. In this chapter,
you will learn to calculate limits, derivatives, integrals (both definite and indefinite),
partial fraction expansion, Laplace transform, Fourier transform, and Taylor series with
MATLAB.
Chapter 3 shows how MATLAB can be used to calculate a definite integral (single,
double or triple) or derivative of a function at a given point. Trapezoidal and Simpson
rules for calculation of definite integrals are studied in this chapter.

Chapter 4 shows how MATLAB can be used for statistical calculations. In this chapter,
you will learn how to calculate summation, average, variance, and standard devia-
tion of a given data, how to generate random numbers, how to calculate factorial
and combinatorial, and how to obtain cumulative distribution function for a normal
distribution.
Chapter 5 shows how MATLAB can be used to obtain impulse and step responses
of a linear differential equation. In this book, we use the linear system (or linear
dynamical system) and linear differential equation terms interchangeably. By impulse
and step responses, we mean the response that observed in the output when the input
is Heaviside step function and Dirac impulse function, respectively.
Chapter 6 shows how differential equations can be solved with Simulink. Simulink is a
software package which accompanies MATLAB and permits you to simulate dynam-
ical systems (i.e., systems which can described by a linear or nonlinear differential
equations) with the aid of many ready to use graphical blocks.
Chapter 7 shows how difference equations can be solved with Simulink. A difference
equation is a relation between the differences of unknown function at one or more
general values of the independent variable. Generally, a difference equation is obtained
in an attempt to solve an ordinary differential equation by finite difference method.
Chapter 8 shows how curve-fitting problems can be solved with MATLAB’s Curve
Fitting Toolbox™. Curve fitting is the process of constructing a curve, or mathematical
function, that has the best fit to a series of data points.
Chapter 9 shows how MATLAB can be used for drawing the graph of a given data.
Different kind of graphs are studied in this chapter.
Chapter 10 shows how some of well-known numerical analysis algorithms can be
implemented with MATLAB programming.
Chapter 11 shows how optimization problems can be solved with the aid of ready to
use functions that Optimization Toolbox™ provides.
I hope that this book will be useful to the readers, and I welcome comments on the book.
