Synopsis

This book is structured in three parts: Part I: Basic Algorithms Part II: Conventional Algorithms Part III: Unconventional Algorithms. It introduces all major algorithms used in modern scientific computing with worked examples. Topics include: root-finding algorithms, numerical integration, solution of linear systems, interpolation, numerical solutions of ODEs and PDEs, cellular automata, statistical modelling, random number generation, Monte Carlo methods, function optimization and unconventional metaheuristic algorithms such as ant algorithms, harmony search and firefly algorithms. The book is intended as a text book or supplementary text and provides a useful source of reference for students and researchers.
