Lessons in Scientific Computing
«
"The book is a modernized, compact introduction into scientific computing. It combines the various components of the field (numerical analysis, discrete numerical mathematics, computer science, and computational hardware), subjects that are most often taught separately, into one book. The book takes a broad and interdisciplinary approach."
—Hans Benker, Merseburg, in Zentralblatt MATH 1397"The short, but insightful and deep book fills a gap in between scientific computing, computer science, numerics, and programming in various languages. I like very much that it does not build on one or the other language, but conveys concepts. I will definitely recommend it to bachelor and master students of any science or engineering major and will use it for teaching myself. "

"In an age when technical information is readily available on the Internet, what should a textbook on scientific computing look like? Norbert Schorghofer has a clear vision: his book provides a basic introduction to an extremely broad set of topics, enough to get a student started, and enough to pique the student's interest in delving deeper, either on the web or with more advanced books. Topics covered range across traditional numerical analysis, programming languages, modeling, computer architectures and parallel computing, and handling big data."
