Reader reviews for An Introduction to Scientific Computing: Twelve Computational Projects Solved with MATLAB (Texts in Applied Mathematics)

From the publisher

This book demonstrates scientific computing by presenting twelve computational projects spanning a broad spectrum of disciplines including Fluid Mechanics, Chemistry, Elasticity, Thermal Science, Computer Aided Design, Signal and Image Processing and more. Each project guides the reader through typical steps of scientific computing, from physical and mathematical description of the problem, to numerical formulation and programming and finally to critical discussion of results. The text teaches practical computational methods which are not usually available in basic textbooks: numerical checking of accuracy or stability, choice of boundary conditions, effective solving of linear systems, comparison to exact solutions and more. Programming techniques such as vectorial programming and memory storage optimization are addressed, and chapter-ending references form a guide for further reading. The final section of each project contains the solutions to proposed exercises and guides the reader in using the MATLAB scripts available online.

From the rear cover

This book provides twelve computational projects aimed at numerically solving problems from a broad range of applications including Fluid Mechanics, Chemistry, Elasticity, Thermal Science, Computer Aided Design, Signal and Image Processing. For each project the reader is guided through the typical steps of scientific computing from physical and mathematical description of the problem, to numerical formulation and programming and finally to critical discussion of numerical results. Considerable emphasis is placed on practical issues of computational methods. The last section of each project contains the solutions to all proposed exercises and guides the reader in using the MATLAB scripts. The mathematical framework provides a basic foundation in the subject of numerical analysis of partial differential equations and main discretization techniques, such as finite differences, finite elements, spectral methods and wavelets).

The book is primarily intended as a graduate-level text in applied mathematics, but it may also be used by students in engineering or physical sciences. It will also be a useful reference for researchers and practicing engineers.
