Numerical methods for engineering application

While it avoids intense mathematical detail, Numerical Methods for Engineering Application supplies more in-depth explanations of methods than found in the typical engineer's numerical "cookbook." It offers complete coverage of most commonly encountered algebraic, interpolation, and integration problems. Ordinary differential equations are examined in great detail, as are three common types of partial differential equations - parabolic, elliptic, and hyperbolic. The author also explores a wide range of methods for solving initial and boundary value problems.
