Lessons in Scientific Computing: Numerical Mathematics, Computer Technology, and Scientific Discovery

Autor Norbert Schorghofer
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 10 oct 2018
Taking an interdisciplinary approach, this new book provides a modern introduction to scientific computing, exploring numerical methods, computer technology, and their interconnections, which are treated with the goal of facilitating scientific research across all disciplines. Each chapter provides an insightful lesson and viewpoints from several subject areas are often compounded within a single chapter. Written with an eye on usefulness, longevity, and breadth, Lessons in Scientific Computing will serve as a "one stop shop" for students taking a unified course in scientific computing, or seeking a single cohesive text spanning multiple courses.
Features:
  • Provides a unique combination of numerical analysis, computer programming, and computer hardware in a single text
  • Includes essential topics such as numerical methods, approximation theory, parallel computing, algorithms, and examples of computational discoveries in science
  • Not wedded to a specific programming language

Recenzii

"The book is a modernized, compact introduction into scientific computing. It combines the various components of the field (numerical analysis, discrete numerical mathematics, computer science, and computational hardware), subjects that are most often taught separately, into one book. The book takes a broad and interdisciplinary approach."
Hans Benker, Merseburg, in Zentralblatt MATH 1397
"The short, but insightful and deep book fills a gap in between scientific computing, computer science, numerics, and programming in various languages. I like very much that it does not build on one or the other language, but conveys concepts. I will definitely recommend it to bachelor and master students of any science or engineering major and will use it for teaching myself. "
Detlef Lohse, Physics of Fluids, University of Twente, The Netherlands
"In an age when technical information is readily available on the Internet, what should a textbook on scientific computing look like? Norbert Schorghofer has a clear vision: his book provides a basic introduction to an extremely broad set of topics, enough to get a student started, and enough to pique the student's interest in delving deeper, either on the web or with more advanced books. Topics covered range across traditional numerical analysis, programming languages, modeling, computer architectures and parallel computing, and handling big data."
William H. Press, University of Texas at Austin
