Introduction to Modern Scientific Programming and Numerical Methods
Description
Alles über E-Books | Antworten auf Fragen rund um E-Books, Kopierschutz und Dateiformate finden Sie in unserem Info- & Hilfebereich.
This book introduces the reader not only to the mathematical foundation but also to the programming paradigms encountered in modern hybrid software-hardware scientific computing. After completing the text, the reader will be well-versed in the use of different numerical techniques, programming languages, and hardware architectures, and will be able to select the appropriate software and hardware tool for their analysis.
It can serve as a textbook for undergraduate courses on numerical analysis and scientific computing courses within engineering and physical sciences departments. It will also be a valuable guidebook for researchers with experimental backgrounds interested in working with numerical simulations, or to any new personnel working in scientific computing or data analysis.
Key Features:
Includes examples of solving numerical problems in multiple programming languages, including MATLAB, Python, Fortran, C++, Arduino, Javascript, and Verilog
Provides an introduction to modern high-performance computing technologies including multithreading, distributed computing, GPUs, microcontrollers, FPGAs, and web "cloud computing"
Contains an overview of numerical techniques not found in other introductory texts including particle methods, finite volume and finite element methods, Vlasov solvers, and molecular dynamics

Persons
Joseph Wang is Professor of Astronautics and Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering at University of Southern California. Prof. Wang received his Ph.D in Aeronautics and Astronautics from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1991. Prof. Wang conducts research in computational physics, space technology, and space and planetary science. He and his students have developed many computer simulation models utilizing particle-in-cell, Vlasov, and molecular dynamics simulation for large-scale first-principle based simulations in these areas. He has more than 300 publications.
Robert Martin received his B.S. in Aerospace Engineering from Iowa State University and his M.S. and Ph.D in Computational Science, Mathematics, and Engineering focused on modeling non-equilibrium gas and plasma at the University of California, San Diego. He joined the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) In-Space Propulsion branch in 2011 leading development of a new multiscale/multiphysics modeling framework for spacecraft plasma. He joined the Army Research Office to run the Modeling of Complex Systems Program in 2021.

System requirements
File format: PDF
Copy-Protection: Adobe-DRM (Digital Rights Management)
System requirements:
- Computer (Windows; MacOS X; Linux): Install the free reader Adobe Digital Editions prior to download (see eBook Help).
- Tablet/smartphone (Android; iOS): Install the free app Adobe Digital Editions or the app PocketBook before downloading (see eBook Help).
- E-reader: Bookeen, Kobo, Pocketbook, Sony, Tolino and many more (only limited: Kindle).
The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
Please note: We strongly recommend that you authorise using your personal Adobe ID after installation of any reading software.
