By: Material type: TextTextSeries: The R seriesPublication details: Boca Raton : CRC Press, ©2014.Description: xxii, 335 p. : illustrations ; 25 cmISBN:
  • 9781439884485 (hardback : acidfree paper)
Subject(s): DDC classification:
  • 518.02855133 23 B655
Contents:
1. Introduction -- 2. Calculating -- 3. Graphing -- 4. Programming and functions -- 5. Solving systems of algebraic equations -- 6. Numerical differentiation and integration -- 7. Optimization -- 8. Ordinary differential equations -- 9. Partial differential equations -- 10. Analyzing data -- 11. Fitting models to data.
Summary: This book shows how the free and open-source R environment can be used as a powerful and comprehensive platform for the kinds of numerical analysis that are traditionally employed by MATLAB. With R code fully integrated, the book offers brief descriptions of basic approaches and emphasizes detailed worked examples. It covers functions in the base installation of R as well as those in contributed packages, which greatly enhance the numerical analysis capabilities of R.
