Description
Exploring Numerical Methods is designed to provide beginning engineering and science students, as well as upper-level mathematics students, with an introduction to numerical analysis that emphasizes insight and hands-on experience. To serve the needs of both the younger and the more experienced audience, each chapter begins with an intuitive presentation of motivation and simple algorithms. Topics are developed progressively within each chapter and the advanced material, which reveals underlying theory and discusses complicated methods, is clearly marked. The text takes a focused approach to introducing the more important numerical algorithms and exposes students to partial differential equations by using simple prototypes. This text provides a strong experiential basis for future study.
