SHOICHIRO NAKAMURA is Professor at Ohio State. His current research interests include computational simulation of blood flows in artificial heart pumps, polymer flows in plastic processing, and internal and external automobile aerodynamics, as well as numerical methods for supercomputers. He holds a Ph.D. from Kyoto University, Japan.

• NEW - Focus on MATLAB-6 - Modifies many explanations and implements the new features of MATLAB into the software in the book (the previous edition was based on MATLAB 4), keeps students up to date on the latest version of the software.
• NEW - Additional introductory coverage of MATLAB - Revises explanation in Chapter 1 of MATLAB commands, examples, and exercise problems, and increases the number of problems, so that beginning students can understand the programming, makes material more accessible for beginning students and makes book more adaptable to students at different levels.
• NEW - New graphic capabilities in MATLAB-6 - Updates Chapter 2 on Graphics to incorporate new features of MATLAB, keeps students up to date on the latest version of the software.
• NEW - Redrawn
