TOP REVIEWS FROM NUMERICAL METHODS FOR ENGINEERS
Very nice introduction to numerical methods.
The MATLAB assignments were challenging but worth the effort.
Many thanks to Prof Chasnov.
An excellent course on Numerical methods. The interactive nature of the course, using MATLAB programming and exercises, made it a lot of fun to learn the subject.
Excellent course material, organization, and presentation. Also a very useful course for scientists and engineers.
It is a great course and help me to have a better understanding of the numerical method!
