Finite Difference Computing with Exponential Decay Models Paperback / softback
by Hans Petter Langtangen
Part of the Lecture Notes in Computational Science and Engineering series
Paperback / softback
Description
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.
