Product Description
Designed for the non-expert student, enthusiast, or researcher, this text provides an accessible introduction to numerical computation and its applications in science and engineering. It assumes no prior knowledge beyond undergraduate calculus and elementary computer programming. Fundamental and practical issues are discussed in a unified manner with a generous, but not excessive, dose of numerical analysis. Topics are introduced on a need to know basis to concisely illustrate the practical implementation of a variety of algorithms and demystify seemingly esoteric numerical methods. Algorithms that can be explained without too much elaboration and can be implemented within a few dozen lines of computer code are discussed in detail, and computer programs in Fortran, C++, and Matlab are provided. Algorithms whose underlying theories require long, elaborate explanations are discussed at the level of first principles, and references for further information are given. The book uses numerous schematic illustrations to demonstrate concepts and facilitate their understanding by providing readers with a helpful interplay between ideas and visual images. Real-world examples drawn from various branches of science and engineering are presented. Updated information on computer technology and numerical methods is included, many new and some original topics are introduced. Additional solved and unsolved problems are included.

a useful reference March 8, 2010
Michael George (San Diego, CA)
I used this reference recently to help me with a research project and found the organization of the sections on numerical solutions to differential equations to be very helpful. The book is very well organized, and presented the material in a suggestive way, so that I was able to use it in developing some ideas concerning the theoretical aspects of computation. I think that any reference which leads one to develop new theoretical insights must be recommended, but it appears also to be very well organized for ordinary practical purposes as well. I highly recommend it.
excellent book on numerical methods March 5, 2006

4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This is an extremely useful and well-written book. It is perfectly organized and very well structured. The level is just right; not too simple and not too tough. The software is a big bonus. Everything I have needed on numerics I have found in this book. Highly recommended.
