Matlab

Matlab is a high-level language particularly suited to numerical analysis of problems.

Using Matlab

Mathworks has released a PDF version of a textbook on the use of Matlab for numerical problems. This documentation uses files in the NCM, a collection of Matlab files for teaching Matlab and doing certain things easily. The chapters are available locally: (note that slight changes in syntax and GUIs may be present in later versions)

• Linear Equations
• Interpolation
• Zeros and Roots
• Least Square fitting
• Quadrature
• ODEs (Ordinary Differential Equations)
