Kenneth J. Beers has been Assistant Professor at MIT since 2000.

Suitable for a first year graduate course, this textbook unites applications of numerical mathematics and scientific computing to the practise of chemical engineering. The methods are developed at a level of mathematics suitable for graduate engineering. MATLAB is integrated within each chapter and numerous examples in chemical engineering are provided.

1. Linear algebra

2. Nonlinear algebraic systems

3. Matrix eigenvalue analysis

4. Initial value problems

5. Numerical optimization

6. Boundary value problems

7. Probability theory and stochastic simulation

8. Bayesian statistics and parameter estimation

9. Fourier analysis.
