About this Item

Hardcover. This text places emphasis on solving differential equations using the finite difference approach. Among the other features are problem-solving methods, clear identification of the pitfalls of using selected algorithms, and more on practical solutions than theoretical abstraction. There are chapters on elliptic, parabolic, and hyperbolic partial differential equations and also consideration of the finite element method for solving differential equations. FORTRAN programs for implementing algorithms are included in each chapter with subroutines written in pseudocode which is adaptable to other programming languages. Emphasizing the finite difference approach for solving differential equations, this title presents a methodology for constructing individual computer programs. It provides solutions to complex scientific and engineering problems, and each chapter begins with objectives and a discussion of a representative application. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9780824704438

About this title

Synopsis:

Emphasizing the finite difference approach for solving differential equations, the second edition of Numerical Methods for Engineers and Scientists presents a methodology for systematically constructing individual computer programs. Providing easy access to accurate solutions to complex scientific and engineering problems, each chapter begins with objectives, a discussion of a representative application, and an outline of special features, summing up with a list of tasks students should be able to complete after reading the chapter- perfect for use as a study guide or for review. The AIAA Journal calls the book "...a good, solid instructional text on the basic tools of numerical analysis."
