This book covers not only the standard topics but also some more advanced numerical methods being used by computational scientists and engineers€"topics such as compression, forward and backward error analysis, and iterative methods of solving equations€"all while maintaining a level of discussion appropriate for undergraduates. Each chapter contains a Reality Check, which is an extended exploration of relevant application areas that can launch individual or team projects. MATLAB<sup></sup> is used throughout to demonstrate and implement numerical methods. The <b>Second Edition</b> features many noteworthy improvements based on feedback from users, such as new coverage of Cholesky factorization, GMRES methods, and nonlinear PDEs.
