Synopsis

This book covers a broad spectrum of the most important, basic numerical and analytical techniques used in physics -- including ordinary and partial differential equations, linear algebra, Fourier transforms, integration and probability. Now language-independent.

Features attractive new 3-D graphics. Offers new and significantly revised exercises. Replaces FORTRAN listings with C++, with updated versions of the FORTRAN programs now available on-line. Devotes a third of the book to partial differential equations -- e.g., Maxwell's equations, the diffusion equation, the wave equation, etc.
