Numerical methods are ubiquitous in scientific research, often working quietly behind the scenes in algorithmic black boxes. Practitioners who use such black boxes don't always know what's happening inside them, sometimes leading to inaccurate or inefficient solutions and occasionally flat-out wrong ones. This book breaks open the algorithms to explain how they work and why they can fail. It helps develop both the intuitive understanding of the underlying mathematical theory and practical skills for research.
This book teaches not only how to be a critical user of scientific computing algorithms but also a knowledgeable creator of them. Ideal as an introductory text for senior undergraduate and first-year graduate students, as a self-study for anyone with a working knowledge of multivariate calculus and linear algebra, and as a modern reference on numerical methods for researchers.
This revised edition, extensively rewritten and expanded, provides a comprehensive guide to using numerical methods in linear algebra, analysis, and differential equations. Examples and exercises are worked out in detail. This book includes extensive commentary and code for three essential scientific computing languages: Julia, Python, and Matlab/Octave
Kyle Novak is an applied mathematician, data scientist, and decision analyst with twenty-five years of experience on topics ranging from autonomous systems and cryptanalysis to complex networks and federal policy. He is the author of Special Functions of Mathematical Physics: A Tourist's Guidebook and is featured in the American Mathematical Society's 101 Careers in Mathematics.

Store description
In 2002, World of Books Group was founded on an ethos to do good, protect the planet and support charities by enabling more goods to be reused. Since then, we've grown into to a global company pioneering the circular economy. Today, we drive the circular economy through three re-commerce brands: - Wob: Through Wob, we sell. We provide affordable, preloved books and media to customers all over the world. A book leaves our collection of over seven million titles and begins a new chapter every two seconds, enabling more goods to be reused. - Ziffit: Through Ziffit, we buy. We give people around the world the opportunity to contribute to the circular economy, earn money and protect the planet, by trading their unwanted books and media. - Shopiago: Through Shopiago, we help others. By sharing the technology that has grown World of Books Group into the business it is today, we’re helping charities increase revenue and reduce waste through re-commerce.…
