From the reviews:
"... An excellent reference on undergraduate mathematical computing."
American Mathematical Monthly
"... the book is worth buying if you want guidance in applying Maple and
MATLAB to problems in the workplace..."
Computing Reviews
"... The presentation is unique, and extremely interesting. I was
thrilled to read this text, and to learn the powerful problem-solving
skills presented by these authors. I recommend the text highly, as a
learning experience, not only to engineering students, but also to
anyone interested in computation."
Mathematics of Computation
For this edition four chapters have been added. Some of the chapters of
the previous editions were revised using new possibilities offered by
Maple and MATLAB. Some interesting web pages related to Maple and MATLAB
have been added in an appendix. Moreover, the editors have created a web
page (www.SolvingProblems.inf.ethz.ch), where all Maple and MATLAB
programs are available.
