Practical Scientific Computing

by Muhammad Ali, V Zalizniak

Scientific computing is about developing mathematical models, numerical methods and computer implementations to study and solve real problems in science, engineering, business and even social sciences. Mathematical modelling requires deep understanding of classical numerical methods. This essential guide provides the reader with sufficient foundations in these areas to venture into more advanced texts.The first section of the book presents numEclipse, an open source tool for numerical computing based on the notion of MATLAB®. numEclipse is implemented as a plug-in for Eclipse, a leading integrated development environment for Java programming. The second section studies the classical methods of numerical analysis. Numerical algorithms and their implementations are presented using numEclipse.Practical scientific computing is an invaluable reference for undergraduate engineering, science and mathematics students taking numerical methods courses. It will also be a useful handbook for postgraduate researchers and professionals whose work involves scientific computing.An invaluable reference for undergraduate engineering, science and mathematics students taking numerical methods coursesGuides the reader through developing a deep understanding of classical numerical methodsFeatures a comprehensive analysis of numEclipse including numerical algorithms and their implementations

About the author

American prizefighter Muhammad Ali, originally Cassius Marcellus Clay, Junior, won the world heavyweight title in 1964, but as a result of his refusal to allow the Army to induct him during the Vietnam War, people stripped him of his title and from 1967 from competing banned him to 1970; he later regained the title two more times in 1974 and 1978.

This former professional boxer, philanthropist, and social activist lived.
