      Description:This book intends to serve a very broad audience of college students across a variety of disciplines. It exposes its readers to some of the basic tools and techniques used in computational science, with a view to helping them understand what happens ‘behind the scenes’ when simple tools are used.

      ScientificComputation has established itself as a stand-alone area of knowledge at theborderline between computer science and applied mathematics. Nonetheless, itsinterdisciplinary character cannot be denied: its methodologies are increasinglyused in a wide variety of branches of science and engineering.

      A Gentle Introduction to Scientific Computing intends to serve a very broadaudience of college students across a variety of disciplines. It aims to exposeits readers to some of the basic tools and techniques used in computationalscience, with a view to helping them understand what happens "behind thescenes" when simple tools such as solving equations, plotting andinterpolation are used.

      To make the book aspractical as possible, the authors explore their subject both from atheoretical, mathematical perspective and from an implementation-driven,programming perspective.

      Features

      • Middle-ground approach between theory and implementation.
      • Suitable reading for a broad range of students in STEM disciplines. Could be used as the primary text for a first course in scientific computing.
      • Introduces mathematics majors, without any prior computer science exposure, to numerical methods.
      • All mathematical knowledge needed beyond Calculus (together with the most widely used Calculus notation and concepts) is introduced in the text to make it self-contained.
