Description for A Student's Guide to Numerical Methods
paperback. A plain language style, worked examples and exercises help students to understand the foundations of computational physics and engineering. Num Pages: 216 pages, 73 b/w illus. BIC Classification: PB; PDE; TBJ. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 229 x 152 x 13. Weight in Grams: 368.
This concise, plain-language guide for senior undergraduates and graduate students aims to develop intuition, practical skills and an understanding of the framework of numerical methods for the physical sciences and engineering. It provides accessible self-contained explanations of mathematical principles, avoiding intimidating formal proofs. Worked examples and targeted exercises enable the student to master the realities of using numerical techniques for common needs such as solution of ordinary and partial differential equations, fitting experimental data, and simulation using particle and Monte Carlo methods. Topics are carefully selected and structured to build understanding, and illustrate key principles such as: accuracy, stability, order ... Read more
