This book considers some of the most fundamental ideas of mathematical and in particular, numerical computing. These in turn form the basis of most of the techniques of scientific computing which are widely used in almost every branch of scientific work and in business and economic applications.
The plain language style, worked examples and exercises in this book help students to understand the foundations of computational physics and engineering.

This concise, plain-language guide for senior undergraduates and graduate students aims to develop intuition, practical skills and an understanding of the framework of numerical methods for the physical sciences and engineering.
Current (unsolved) problems are also described, and directions for future research given. This book contains detailed lecture notes on six topics at the forefront of current research in numerical analysis and applied mathematics.
This book covers not only the standard topics but also some more advanced numerical methods being used by computational scientists and engineers--topics such as compression, forward and backward error analysis, and iterative methods of ...
