Purchase options and add-ons

This textbook is an introduction to Scientific Computing, in which several numerical methods for the computer-based solution of certain classes of mathematical problems are illustrated. The authors show how to compute the zeros, the extrema, and the integrals of continuous functions, solve linear systems, approximate functions using polynomials and construct accurate approximations for the solution of ordinary and partial differential equations. To make the format concrete and appealing, the programming environments Matlab and Octave are adopted as faithful companions. The book contains the solutions to several problems posed in exercises and examples, often originating from important applications. At the end of each chapter, a specific section is devoted to subjects which were not addressed in the book and contains bibliographical references for a more comprehensive treatment of the material.

From the review:

".... This carefully written textbook, the third English edition, contains substantial new developments on the numerical solution of differential equations. It is typeset in a two-color design and is written in a style suited for readers who have mathematics, natural sciences, computer sciences or economics as a background and who are interested in a well-organized introduction to the subject." Roberto Plato (Siegen), Zentralblatt MATH 1205.65002.

About the Author

Alfio Quarteroni is Professor and Director of MATHICSE at EPFL, Lausanne (Switzerland), and Professor and Director of MOX at the Politecnico di Milano (Italy). Author of 20 books (mostly published with Springer) and of more than 200 papers, he is actually one of the strongest and reliable mathematicians in the world in the field of Modelling and SC. Fausto Saleri was Professor of Numerical Analysis at Politecnico di Milano (Italy) until 2007. Author of 11 books published with Springer, he worked on the approximation of partial differential equations, giving important contributions to the study of shallow water equations and to the development of scientific software libraries for finite elements. Paola Gervasio is Associate Professor of Numerical Analysis at University of Brescia (Italy) since 2005. Her research work focuses on the approximation of partial differential equations by spectral methods and domain decomposition techniques.

Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2017
This book is not for people that think will learn how to add two numbers 1+1. It really requires you have a good sense of calculus and it is not for newbies at all. In general is a very good book!

1.0 out of 5 stars Worthless for programming
Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2015

This book is wonderfully constructed but is absolute garbage interms of material. I had just finished a course on C programming and was excited to get started with matlab. There just wasn't anything useful here though. A perfect example is most of the examples in the book are just a quesiton and the answer if you're lucky. No explanations... no step by step instructions, no troubleshooting for the programming. Just awful

While in principle I'd be totally on board with this choice, some sections are almost unreadable. Thankfully the authors plotted figures that can still be read in b&w, so everything in the book can still be understood. From the scientific point of view, this is a classic textbook in most unis. I'm using it to redesign a class I'm teaching.

The book has good examples, and provides a sense of the similarities and differences between MATLAB and Octave. The content is well laid-out and presentation is crisp! I found the section on numerical optimization especially helpful.

3.0 out of 5 stars 申し分ない書籍であるが、ハードカバーを選ぶべき
Reviewed in Japan on December 22, 2020
Verified Purchase
MATLABやOctaveを使って色々な分野の計算を解説するのみならず、それらの問題に応用するための基礎づけの理論も簡潔に記述してある。MATLABやOctaveを離れて数値計算に関する読み物としても十分に役に立つものであり、中身は申し分ないものである。

問題はペーパーバックでの印刷であり、本来ハードカバーではカラーで印刷されるものがペーパーバックではモノクロでの印刷である。そのため書物中で多用されている水色の部分は非常に薄い字での印刷となり非常に読みにくい。全ての章のタイトル、重要語句、プログラムのコードが該当する。そして多くのグラフについてはほとんど判読不能である。試し読みではハードカバーのプレビューであることが記されていて、ペーパーバックはこれとは異なることは承知していたが、これほど酷いと分かっていればペーパーバックを購入しなかった。
