More DescriptionThis book discusses the fundamental and practical issues involved in the most common classes of scientific and engineering computation, with an eye toward usefulness and practical relevance. The discussion concisely illustrates the conceptual development and practical implementation of a variety of numerical algorithms, and exposes the distinguishing features and relative merits of alternative approaches. The development is comprehensive and complete. No prior knowledge is assumed beyond undergraduate calculus and elementary computer programming. An important feature is the demystificaiton of seemingly esoteric numerical procedures. Real-life examples are drawn from various branches of science and engineering.
