Numerical Analysis of Partial Differential Equations Using Maple and MATLABAuthor(s): Martin J. Gander, Felix Kwok\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Society for Industrial & Applied Mathematics,U.S., United States\nImprint: Society for Industrial & Applied Mathematics,U.S.\nISBN-13: 9781611975307, 978-1611975307\nSynopsis\nThis book provides an elementary yet comprehensive introduction to the numerical solution of partial differential equations (PDEs). Used to model important phenomena, such as the heating of apartments and the behavior of electromagnetic waves, these equations have applications in engineering and the life sciences, and most can only be solved approximately using computers.\n\nNumerical Analysis of Partial Differential Equations Using Maple and MATLAB provides detailed descriptions of the four major classes of discretization methods for PDEs (finite difference method, finite volume method, spectral method, and finite element method) and runnable MATLAB code for .
