Introduction to Numerical Programming

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"This book is written for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in natural sciences and engineering for a one- or two-semester course. The material presented includes many topics treated in a numerical analysis course and contains a lot of coding examples in Phyton, and C/C++. ... The value of the book lies in the presentation of the programming and a program example on almost every second page."
-Gudula Ruenger, Zentralblatt MATH, 1308

"In a relatively crowded field of numerical programming books, this is the only one to include both Python and C code examples. ... a good reference for a one- or two-semester course for advanced undergraduate students or for graduate students in science or engineering."
-Optics & Photonics News, 2015

"Working through this book you will become an expert in numerical techniques ... . Your journey will be a real pleasure since the book focuses on thorough explanations, hands-on code examples, and graphical representations."
-Professor Dr. Alexander K. Hartmann, Institute for Physics, University of Oldenburg

"... by taking simple mathematical examples and translating them into what the computer actually does, this textbook provides us with a good picture of what is achieved in a numerical simulation. A basic necessity for whoever wants to address more complex coding and algorithms!"
-Professor Michel Mareschal, Department of Physics, Universite Libre de Bruxelles

"This is a useful book, both as a text and as a reference for computational physics students and instructors. Right from the first chapter about errors it provides an invaluable resource for aspects that are often not sufficiently emphasised, despite their importance for reliable calculations. I strongly recommend it for everyone's bookshelf."
-Professor Joan Adler, Technion, Israel Institute of Technology

"... a comprehensive introduction to classical numerical methods for advanced-level undergraduate students in the physical sciences, engineering, and applied mathematics. The book is novel in teaching both numerics and the art of programming, via clear and simple codes in Python and C/++. ... I will recommend it to my students."
-Professor Mike Wheatland, The University of Sydney

"This book is unique in providing an introduction to [numerical methods, programming languages, and graphics]. Each topic is clearly explained and can be practiced using ready-made computer programs."
