About this title

Review

'... the aiFe book is successfully attained, viz. to present a unified approach to computational mathematical modelling based on differential equations combining aspects of mathematics, computation and application.' G. Kirlinger, International Mathematical News

'The book is written in an accessible style and is well suited to serve as a basis for courses in mathematics, science and engineering.' Aslib Book Guide

'This is a well-written and highly readable book that should be useful for advanced undergraduates in Mathematics or for other scientists new to the field.' Mark Baldwin and Pijush Bhattacharyya, Mathematics Today

'... provocative and should be taken seriously by all faculty, not just those in applied mathematics ... the ideas of the text could be used in many courses in analysis and computation ... this book provides a vision of computation and analysis that may become a model for the future.' Mathematics of Computation

' ... an excellent text ... a readable, up-to-date, easily accessible, and mathematically sound introduction to finite element methods ... a clear elucidation of the fundamentals of the finite element method at an elementary level.' Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics

' ... delightful and illuminating ...' Journal of Fluid Mechanics

Book Description

This approach to teaching computational mathematics is based on a fusion of mathematical analysis, numerical computation and applications. It is designed to be used within a calculus stream of an applied mathematics or engineering curriculum, enabling analytic, computational and modelling methods to be taught hand in hand. By involving computation explicitly, the authors manage to tackle advanced problems with considerably fewer prerequisites than usual.
