科学计算导论(Scientific Computing: An Introductory Survey)

Scientific Computing : An Introductory Survey Michael T. Heath University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign This book presents a broad overview of numerical methods and software for students and professionals in computationally oriented disciplines who need to solve mathematical problems. It is not a traditional numerical analysis text in that it contains relatively little detailed analysis of the computational algorithms presented. Instead, I try to convey a general understanding of the techniques available for solving problems i n each major category, including proper problem formulation and interpretation of results, but I advocate the use of professionally written mathematical software for obtaining solutions whenever possible. The book is aimed much more at potential users of mathematical software than at potential creators of such software. I hope to make the reader aware of the relevant issues in selecting appropriate methods and software and using them wisely. n each major category, including proper problem formulation and interpretation of results, but I advocate the use of professionally written mathematical software for obtaining solutions whenever possible.
