Perturbation methods are old and powerful. Solutions are provided as formulas rather than numbers or pictures, so the skill of the person (or machine!) reading the formula is essential. This unique book presents several classical methods to solve perturbation problems using backward error analysis. This lessens the likelihood of blunders because ......
Draws together some mathematical ideas that are useful in population genetics, concentrating on a few aspects which are both biologically relevant and mathematically interesting.
This text covers numerical analysis, applied mathematics, and solution procedures for differential equations. It should be of help to nonmathematicians interested in applying these methods and techniques. The problems are intended as links between theory and application, and provide a foundation. Originally published in 1961, this "Classics" ......
This book addresses a seemingly simple question: can a certain amount of gas be transported within a pipeline network? The question is difficult, however, when asked in relation to a meshed nationwide gas transportation network and when taking into account technical details and discrete decisions, as well as regulations, contracts, and varying ......
Topics include: ways modern statistical procedures can yield estimates of pi more precisely than the original Buffon procedure traditionally used; the question of density and measure for random geometric elements that leave probability and expectation statements invariant under translation and rotation; the number of random line intersections in a ......
Linear algebra and ordinary differential equations (ODEs) are foundational postcalculus mathematics. The goal of this text is to help students master both subject areas in a one-semester course. The linear algebra necessary for applications is developed first and continually referenced when solving ODEs. The discussion of ODEs focuses on solving ......
This textbook focuses on computational methods for inverse problems that are governed by partial differential equations (PDEs). The author considers deterministic and Bayesian formulations and highlights how traditional tools from deterministic inversion can be integrated into solution methods for Bayesian inverse problems. Advanced topics such as ......
This book is devoted to giving a modern view of iterative methods for solving linear and nonlinear equations, which are the basis for many, if not most, of the models of phenomena in science and engineering; their efficient numerical solution is critical to progress in these areas. The text provides motivating examples mainly from boundary value ......
If you have a basic knowledge of C and want to deepen your understanding, specifically for use in scientific computing, this unique book is for you. Scientific Computing in Modern C is the first book to discuss scientific computing from a software perspective. It covers a broad range of topics - the finer points of C , specific idioms of C ......
