H.B.Wilson – Advanced Mathematics and Mechanics Applications Using MATLAB (2nd.Ed.)

Description:

The second edition of this bestselling book by Drs. Wilson and Turcotte uses MATLAB to analyze various applications in mathematics and mechanics. This modern programming environment is an excellent alternative to FORTRAN. It is an interactive environment for technical computing, and includes a high level programming language and simple graphics commands facilitating two- and three-dimensional data presentation.

The applications emphasize solutions of linear and nonlinear differential equations. Linear partial differential equations and linear matrix differential equations are analyzed using eigenfunctions and series solutions. All the programs are contained on an accompanying diskette, which is organized with directories corresponding to different chapters. A group of repeatedly used functions, such as those for spline interpolation and interactive data input, comprises a separate utility library.

Bond -Stock Trading course: Learn about Bond -Stock Trading

Bond trading definition
Bond trading is one way of making profit from fluctuations in the value of corporate or government bonds.
Many view it as an essential part of a diversified trading portfolio, alongside stocks and cash.

A bond is a financial instrument that works by allowing individuals to loan cash to institutions such as governments or companies.
The institution will pay a defined interest rate on the investment for the duration of the bond, and then give the original sum back at the end of the loan’s term.

A stock trader or equity trader or share trader is a person or company involved in trading equity securities.
Stock traders may be an agent, hedger, arbitrageur, speculator, stockbroker.
Such equity trading in large publicly traded companies may be through a stock exchange.
Stock shares in smaller public companies may be bought and sold in over-the-counter (OTC) markets.

Stock traders can trade on their own account, called proprietary trading, or through an agent authorized to buy and sell on the owner’s behalf.
Trading through an agent is usually through a stockbroker. Agents are paid a commission for performing the trade.

Major stock exchanges have market makers who help limit price variation (volatility) by buying and selling a particular company’s shares on their own behalf and also on behalf of other clients.
