✦ Synopsis

Since its introduction in 1984, MATLABs ever-growing popularity and functionality have secured its position as an industry-standard software package. The user-friendly, interactive environment of MATLAB 6.x, which includes a high-level programming language, versatile graphics capabilities, and abundance of intrinsic functions, helps users focus on their applications rather than on programming errors.
The applications emphasize solutions of linear and nonlinear differential equations. Linear partial differential equations and linear matrix differential equations are analyzed using eigenfunctions and series solutions. All the programs are contained on an accompanying diskette, which is organized with directories corresponding to different chapters. A group of repeatedly used functions, such as those for spline interpolation and interactive data input, comprises a separate utility library.
