“This text provides an overview of the basics of scientific computing. … the author provides an excellent introduction to the field of scientific computing via a consideration of physically relevant models. … This text is an excellent tool for teaching and ideal for readers who would like to enter the field, or reinforce prior knowledge.” (Charis Harley, zbMATH 1356.65188, 2017)<p></p>
This text provides a very simple, initial introduction to the complete scientific computing pipeline: models, discretization, algorithms, programming, verification, and visualization. The pedagogical strategy is to use one case study – an ordinary differential equation describing exponential decay processes – to illustrate fundamental concepts in mathematics and computer science. The book is easy to read and only requires a command of one-variable calculus and some very basic knowledge about computer programming. Contrary to similar texts on numerical methods and programming, this text has a much stronger focus on implementation and teaches testing and software engineering in particular.
