Numerical Linear Algebra with Applications: Using MATLAB and Octave, Second Edition provides practical knowledge on modern computational techniques for the numerical solution of linear algebra problems. The book offers a unified presentation of computation, basic algorithm analysis, and numerical methods to compute solutions. Useful to readers regardless of background, the text begins with six introductory courses to provide background for those who haven’t taken applied or theoretical linear algebra. This approach offers a thorough explanation of the issues and methods for practical computing using MATLAB as the vehicle for computation.

Appropriate for advanced undergraduate and early graduate courses on numerical linear algebra, this useful textbook explores numerous applications to engineering and science.

• Features six introductory chapters to provide the required background for readers without coursework in applied or theoretical linear algebra
• Offers a through discussion of the algorithms necessary for the accurate computation of the solution to the most frequently occurring problems in numerical linear algebra
• Provides illustrative examples from engineering and science applications
• Includes online teaching support for qualified instructors (Solutions Manual, PowerPoint Slides) and study materials for students (Text examples, Algorithms)
