Overview

This applications-oriented book teaches students and engineers how to employ mathematical techniques for simulation and data processing using Mathcad. It is designed as a reference for practicing engineers or for use as a standard university course text, illustrating practical examples from computational science (such as optics, environmental science, chemistry, biology, tomography, economics, etc). The authors describe the most popular classical algorithms and modern techniques with all of the examples computed in Mathcad (on CD-ROM).

ShowKey Features

 Emphasizes the basic ideas of numerical techniques and the uses of modern mathematical software (Mathcad) rather than relying only on complex mathematical derivations. 

 Illustrates simple practical examples from computational science (optics, environmental science, chemistry, biology, tomography, economics, etc.). 

 Includes “live graphs” and figures rendered by Mathcad calculations. 

 Accompanied by a CD-ROM with calculations, figures, and source code. 

 Fulfills the requirements of a course in computational science taking into account recent algorithms and technology.
