Book excerpt: This book introduces the reader to many of the problems of scientific computing and the wide variety of methods used for their solutions. It discusses basic approaches and stimulates an appreciation of the need for numerical methods in solving different types of problems. For each of the problems presented, the author provides some mathematical justification and examples. These serve as practical evidence and motivation for the reader to follow. Practical justification of the methods is provided through computer examples and exercises. The book includes an introduction to MATLAB, but the code used is not intended to exemplify sophisticated or robust pieces of software; it is purely illustrative of the method under discussion.
