Editorial Reviews

A text aimed mainly at students in junior/senior courses in the undergraduate engineering curriculum. It presents a wide range of numerical methods for solving the types of problems that occur in engineering. Some 75% of the case studies, examples, and exercise problems are drawn from engineering disciplines, and several design problems are posed in the last chapter. Annotation c.
