Numerical Methods for Engineers, Sixth Edition

Bought this book for $115 and sold it for $120 after I finished the class. Win win for me.

instructors Love numerical Methods For Engineers Because It Makes Teaching Easy! Students Love It Because It Is Written For Them—with Clear Explanations And Examples Throughout. The Text Features A Broad Array Of Applications That Span All Engineering Disciplines.

the Sixth Edition Retains The Successful Instructional Techniques Of Earlier Editions. Chapra And Canale's Unique Approach Opens Each Part Of The Text With Sections Called Motivation, Mathematical Background, And Orientation. This Prepares The Student For Upcoming Problems In A Motivating And Engaging Manner. Each Part Closes With An Epilogue Containing Trade-offs, Important Relationships And Formulas, And Advanced Methods And Additional References. Much More Than A Summary, The Epilogue Deepens Understanding Of What Has Been Learned And Provides A Peek Into More Advanced Methods. Helpful Separate Appendices. Getting Started With Matlab Abd Getting Started With Mathcad Which Make Excellent References.
