Computational Mathematics: Concepts and Applied Principles

Computational mathematics is the science that integrates computing and mathematics, for research. This is particularly significant in the areas of science that can be aided by computation. It involves the use of numerical methods, algorithms and symbolic computations. Computational mathematics is used in solving mathematical and scientific problems and to aid research in logic, number theory, cryptography, discrete mathematics and computational algebraic topology. Besides these, it is crucial in finance, economics and accounting. Some of the focus areas of computational mathematics are numerical linear algebra, Monte Carlo methods, stochastic finite elements, numerical analysis, etc. There has been rapid progress in computational mathematics and its applications are finding their way across multiple fields. This book elucidates new techniques and their applications in a multidisciplinary manner. Coherent flow of topics, student-friendly language and extensive use of examples make this book an invaluable source of knowledge.
