商品簡介
Cheney and Ward (both U. of Texas-Austin) focus on teaching students of science and engineering how to use computers to solve numerical problems that may arise in their fields. They also provide an opportunity for students to hone their skills in computer programming; problem solving; and detecting, predicting, and controlling errors in scientific computing. They assume students are just beginning their formal study of mathematics and computer sciences, so use an elementary style and provide a survey of the whole field of numerical mathematics and computing. Among the topics are mathematical preliminaries and floating-point representation, numerical integration, least squares methods and Fourier series, boundary-value problems, and linear programming problems.
