Description for Finite Difference Computing with Exponential Decay Models
Hardback. Series: Lecture Notes in Computational Science and Engineering. Num Pages: 214 pages, 29 black & white illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: PDE; PHU; TBJ; UMZ. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 189 x 264 x 18. Weight in Grams: 600.
This text provides a very simple, initial introduction to the complete scientific computing pipeline: models, discretization, algorithms, programming, verification, and visualization. The pedagogical strategy is to use one case study - an ordinary differential equation describing exponential decay processes - to illustrate fundamental concepts in mathematics and computer science. The book is easy to read and only requires a command of one-variable calculus and some very basic knowledge about computer programming. Contrary to similar texts on numerical methods and programming, this text has a much stronger focus on implementation and teaches testing and software engineering in particular.
