Résumé

This book provides a concise collection of MATLAB programs and exercises to accompany a course in multivariable calculus. The main ideas of calculus in several variables ore presented alongside examples of computations and graphics displays using the MATLAB computer algebra software.

The book's many examples demonstrate how to use MATLAB effectively and easily in a variety of contexts. Simple numerical procedures ore introduced - such as numerical differentiation, numerical integration and Newton's method in several variables - allowing students to tackle problems utilizing these techniques and optimizing the relevant MATLAB applications. The author provides numerous examples -of short codes which students con then modify to solve problems.

Exercises contained in this volume include applications to problems across disciplines, such as economics, physics, engineering, and biology. A link to supplementary MATLAB files is provided on the Harcourt/ Academic Press Web site to implement some graphical displays too complex for programming by students new to the software. These files con be used by students or con also serve as practical MATLAB classroom demonstrations for instructors teaching the course.
