Linge S., Langtangen H.P. Programming for Computations - MatLAB/Octave: A Gentle Introduction to Numerical Simulations with MatLAB/Octave

Springer Science+Business Media, 2016. — 228 p. — (Texts in Computational Science and Engineering 14). — ISBN 3319324519.Computing, in the sense of doing mathematical calculations, is a skill that mankind has developed over thousands of years. Programming, on the other hand, is in its infancy, with a history that spans a few decades only. Both topics are vastly comprehensive and usually taught as separate subjects in educational institutions around the world, especially at the undergraduate level. This book is about the combination of the two, because computing today becomes so much more powerful when combined with programming.The First Few Steps
