Supplements of the Essentials of Mathematical Methods in Science and Engineering (2008) concentrates on the needs of engineering and applied science students
(http://www.metu.edu.tr/~bayin).
The file named SUPPLEMENTS has three parts:
Part I: We discuss m x n systems; row echelon
forms; row, column and null spaces; rank and nullity; linear
independence and basis vectors; linear transformations and their
representations; etc.
Part II: We introduce numerical methods
of linear algebra, where partial pivoting; LU- factorization;
interpolation and numerical methods of finding solutions are among the
interesting topics discussed.
Part III: We give an interesting application of linear algebra from chemistry and chemical engineering, where we show how to find a set of independent chemical reactions and introduce the stoichiometric matrix.
The file
named BAYIN(2008)-mathlab-files-JULY11-2010 has some matlab
codes, where after a review of the basic commands, we continue with matlab
applications of the numerical methods of linear algebra. These
codes were used in the lab section of a one semester sophomore math course
for engineers that met four hours a week. Students had little or no prior experience with matlab.

Supplements of my books
Supplements of my books entitled Mathematical Methods in Science and Engineering (2006) and Essentials of Mathematical Methods in Science and Engineering (2008) are available to everybody. Their most up to date versions can be found in my website http://www.metu.edu.tr/~bayin .
In the companion site for our book, Mathematical Methods in Science and Engineering 2006, we present solutions or hints to selected problems. These problems are not always chosen from the book. When they are directly taken from the book, or when they are related to a problem in the book, the corresponding problem number is given. Each problem is stated completely so that the interested reader can attempt to reach the solution before consulting the answers or the hints. It is assumed that the reader is familiar with the contents of the corresponding chapter in the book. Rather than presenting the complete solutions, we usually prefer to discuss the method and guide the reader through the crucial intermediate steps. In this regard, even with the help given, these problems remain challenging exercises, which can generally be assigned by instructors in the given format.
